GDPR software that proves you handle data properly — so buyers say yes

Your EU and UK customers won't sign until they've seen your ROPA, subprocessors list, DPIA outputs and breach process. ISO-STANDARD.app is the GDPR workspace that turns 'we take privacy seriously' into artifacts you can hand a buyer, a regulator or a class-action lawyer.

The GDPR reality for SMEs and consultants

The GDPR isn't just an EU regulation — it's now the baseline every serious buyer expects. UK GDPR, Swiss FADP, LGPD in Brazil, PIPEDA in Canada and most US state privacy laws share the same core artifacts: know what data you process, why, on what basis, with whom you share it, and how you'd handle a subject request or a breach.

Doing this in Word and email is where teams get caught out. Not by fines — by lost deals. Buyer procurement asks a targeted question, and if the answer takes a week, they assume the worst.

What's in the box

Record of Processing Activities

Article 30 ROPA with data categories, lawful basis, retention, recipients and international transfers — exportable for the regulator.

DPIA workflow

Screen every new processing activity; when a DPIA is triggered, capture necessity, proportionality, risks to rights, mitigations and sign-off.

DSAR intake & response

Public request page, identity verification, task workflow, redaction log and 30-day clock — with an audit trail of every action.

Subprocessor register

Live list of processors with DPA status, jurisdiction, transfer mechanism (SCCs, adequacy) and change notifications for customers.

Breach register & 72-hour clock

Log incidents, assess notifiability, generate the regulator notification and track affected data-subject comms.

Policies & DPAs

Privacy notice, cookie notice, retention schedule, DPIA template and customer-facing DPA — all versioned and branded.

How buyers verify you — in minutes, not weeks

Enterprise privacy teams don't want your privacy notice — they've read it. They want proof your operations match the policy.

  1. Step 1

    Send your Trust Center link

    Buyer sees your subprocessor list, DPA availability, retention schedule and current DPIA cadence — before the first call.

  2. Step 2

    Deliver DPA under NDA

    Gated download with click-through NDA. You know who's read the DPA and which version they have.

  3. Step 3

    Answer DPO questions

    Every answer is backed by ROPA rows, DPIA outputs or breach-log entries — not a PDF from 2021.

  4. Step 4

    Prove ongoing operation

    Buyer's annual review takes minutes: subprocessor changes are logged with dates, DSARs closed within SLA, breaches (or absence of them) documented.

The artifacts buyers actually ask for

Every artifact below is generated inside the workspace, versioned, timestamped and shareable via a signed link — no last-minute PDF assembly, no "wait, which version did I send them?"

Article 30 Record of Processing Activities (ROPA)
Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) library
Subprocessor register with SCC / adequacy notes
Customer-facing DPA (versioned, branded)
DSAR response log with 30-day SLA evidence
Breach register + 72-hour notification templates
Retention schedule per data category
International transfer risk assessments (TIAs)

Who it's for

B2B SaaS selling into the EU / UK

Pain: Every deal now includes a DPA negotiation, a subprocessor question and a 'where does the data live?' interrogation.

With ISO-STANDARD.app: One workspace holding the ROPA, DPA, subprocessors and TIAs — Legal signs off in days, not weeks.

Consultancy or agency handling client data

Pain: Different clients, different data flows, and no single view of who processes what for whom.

With ISO-STANDARD.app: A workspace per engagement, a template ROPA and a defensible DPIA trail — professionally reassuring.

Founder / operator with no DPO

Pain: A DPO on retainer costs more than the business can justify — but the compliance work still needs doing.

With ISO-STANDARD.app: Guided workflows, plain-English screens and a founder-built platform designed for teams that can't hire a privacy lawyer.

Answers buyers, procurement and auditors want

Is this legal advice?+

No. The platform gives you the workflow and artifacts the GDPR (and equivalent regimes) expect. Get a lawyer involved for edge cases — but stop paying a lawyer to maintain a spreadsheet.

Does it help with UK GDPR, EU GDPR and other regimes?+

Yes. The core artifacts (ROPA, DPIA, subprocessor register, breach process, DPA) are the shared foundation. Regime-specific notices and clauses live in the policy library.

Can customers submit DSARs directly?+

Yes — a hosted request page with identity verification feeds the workflow. No custom dev, no extra tool.

How does it help me sell?+

The Trust Center + DPA + subprocessor list are the three artifacts every enterprise privacy team wants first. Publishing them makes you look like a serious counterparty, not an ad-hoc supplier.

Does it integrate with ISO 27001 / SOC 2 evidence?+

Yes. The same evidence vault, audit log and control library backs infosec certifications and privacy compliance — no duplicate work.

Why this platform exists

Enterprise-grade governance — built for the SMEs and consultants enterprise GRC forgets.

I've spent 25 years in corporate governance — aligning technology, controls and compliance with what the business is actually trying to do. Time and again, the same pattern: the organisations that win new clients aren't the ones with the biggest GRC budget. They're the ones who can demonstrate trust on demand. This platform is the tool I wanted for the SMEs and consultants I've worked with — institutional-grade governance without an institutional price tag, built on the way audits and buyer reviews actually happen.
