WEBINAR | Data Protection Gap Analysis: Identifying weak spots before Regulators do

Wednesday, 16 April 2025

3:00–4:00 pm (BST)

Stay ahead of Regulators with data protection gap analysis

The regulatory landscape is evolving rapidly, and data protection authorities are ramping up enforcement. With fines increasing and compliance expectations rising, organisations must proactively benchmark their GDPR compliance to avoid regulatory scrutiny and reputational damage.

A comprehensive data protection gap analysis is crucial for identifying vulnerabilities in policies, procedures, and operational controls. This process helps mitigate risks, strengthen compliance frameworks, and prepare for regulatory audits before weaknesses lead to financial penalties or legal consequences.

Recent enforcement actions highlight the importance of regularly assessing data protection practices. As of March 2024, data protection authorities have issued more than 2,086 fines, totalling approximately £3.8 billion in penalties under GDPR enforcement. This underscores the financial risks of non-compliance and the necessity of proactive compliance assessments.

Proactive compliance assessments not only help prevent breaches but also demonstrate accountability and due diligence to regulators.
