GDPR compliance software that keeps every Article obligation owned and on time
GDPR is not a certificate you earn once; it is a set of obligations that never stop. Complies keeps records of processing current, DPAs signed, and breach response rehearsed.
GDPR compliance software makes the EU General Data Protection Regulation operational: Complies tracks your Article-level obligations, keeps Art. 30 records of processing current, maps security controls to Art. 32, and keeps breach response ready for the 72-hour notification clock in Art. 33. GDPR is a regulation, not a certification: it demands a lawful basis for every processing activity, signed data processing agreements with processors under Art. 28, honored data subject rights to access, correction, and erasure, appropriate technical and organizational security measures, and notification of most personal data breaches to the supervisory authority within 72 hours. Complies turns each of those into a tracked obligation with an owner and a due date, drafts policy and register starting points that humans review and approve, and collects security evidence such as access reviews and encryption settings from AWS, Google Workspace, and Okta. Because Art. 32 security is largely the same control set as SOC 2 CC6 and ISO 27001 A.5.15, work done for those frameworks pre-fills your GDPR security posture, and the reverse holds too. Growth runs $199 a month, $2,388 a year, with cross-mapping across all five frameworks included.
Complies handles it with compliance tracking software and compliance risk register, with every control cross-mapped to the other frameworks you run.
What GDPR asks of you, in plain language
| Code | What it demands | How Complies helps |
|---|---|---|
| Art. 30 | Keep written records of all processing activities | Complies maintains your records of processing as a living register with owners, purposes, and retention periods, and prompts reviews when systems or vendors change. |
| Art. 32 | Secure personal data with appropriate technical and organizational measures | Maps encryption, access control, and backup evidence from AWS and Google Workspace to Art. 32, reusing the same controls that serve SOC 2 and ISO 27001. |
| Art. 33 | Notify the supervisory authority of breaches within 72 hours | Keeps your incident response plan, contact list, and notification template approved and current, so the 72-hour clock starts with a rehearsed playbook, not a blank page. |
| Art. 28 | Bind every processor with a data processing agreement | Tracks each vendor that touches personal data, stores the signed DPA as evidence, and flags processors added to your stack without one. |
| Art. 15-17 | Honor data subject requests for access, correction, and erasure | Logs each request as an obligation with a statutory deadline and an owner, so the one-month response window never passes unnoticed. |
Collect once, comply many times
GDPR security under Art. 32 is the same work as SOC 2 CC6, ISO 27001 A.5.15, HIPAA 164.312, and PCI DSS Req. 3: encryption, access control, and tested resilience. Breach notification under Art. 33 lines up with the incident response controls every other framework demands, and Art. 28 processor management mirrors SOC 2 CC9.2 vendor risk. Complies maps each control once and marks it satisfied across frameworks, so a team that built SOC 2 or ISO 27001 first finds most of its GDPR security posture pre-filled, with evidence reused. Cross-mapping is included from Growth up.
| Control area | GDPR | Also satisfies |
|---|---|---|
| Security of processing | Art. 32 | SOC 2 CC6.1 · ISO A.5.15 · HIPAA 164.312 · PCI Req. 3 |
| Breach notification | Art. 33 | SOC 2 CC7.4 · ISO A.5.24 · HIPAA 164.404 |
| Vendor management | Art. 28 | SOC 2 CC9.2 · ISO A.5.19 · HIPAA 164.308(b) |
| Retention and deletion | Art. 5(1)(e), Art. 17 | SOC 2 C1.2 · ISO A.8.10 · PCI Req. 3.2 |

Getting GDPR ready with Complies
Map your data and connect your stack
Connect AWS, Google Workspace, and your HR tools, then build the Art. 30 records of processing: what personal data you hold, why, where it lives, and who processes it for you.
Close the legal and security gaps
Complies flags missing DPAs, unlawful-basis gaps, and Art. 32 security holes as obligations with owners. AI-drafted privacy notices and policies give starting points your team approves.
Keep it alive, because GDPR never finishes
The compliance calendar drives register reviews, DPA renewals, and breach drills. Data subject requests get logged with statutory deadlines, and the readiness score shows drift before a regulator does.
Complies assists with compliance workflows. It is not legal advice, and it does not certify you or guarantee audit outcomes. Your auditor decides; Complies gets you ready.
GDPR questions, answered
No, and be wary of anyone selling a GDPR certificate: the regulation has no general certification that makes you compliant. Complies assists with compliance workflows: it is not legal advice, and it does not certify you or guarantee outcomes with a supervisory authority. Your auditor and your counsel decide; Complies gets you ready, with obligations tracked, records current, and evidence organized.
It can. GDPR applies to companies outside the EU that offer goods or services to people in the EU or monitor their behavior, regardless of where servers sit. If EU users sign up for your SaaS, you likely have obligations. Complies tracks them alongside your other frameworks; whether specific processing is lawful is a question for your counsel, and we say that plainly.
Only in specific cases: public authorities, or organizations whose core activities involve large-scale systematic monitoring or large-scale processing of special category data. Most 5 to 200 person SaaS companies do not meet that bar, but many appoint a privacy lead anyway. Complies gives that person the register, the calendar, and the evidence trail, whatever their title is.
Art. 33 requires notifying the supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of a breach, unless it is unlikely to risk people's rights, and Art. 34 adds notifying affected individuals when the risk is high. The hard part is doing that with a clear head. Complies keeps the response plan, contacts, and notification template approved in advance, and logs the incident timeline as evidence.
