GDPR with Naq

Prove you protect personal data.

GDPR has no certificate, so your customers ask you to prove that you comply. Naq sets up most of the work for you, then checks your proof every night.

What is GDPR?

GDPR is the law on how you collect, use and protect personal data. In the UK the Information Commission's Office (ICO) enforces it, and you must be able to show that you comply, not only say it.

£17.5m or 4%

The most the ICO can fine you, whichever is higher, based on your global turnover.

72 hours

How long you have to report a serious data breach to the ICO after you find out about it.

No certificate

Customers check you themselves, with supplier questionnaires and requests for your policies.

Six steps to comply, most of them done for you.

This is everything GDPR asks of you. For each step, here is what you do and what Naq does.

Step
1

Decide what it covers

You

Write down what GDPR covers in your organisation, and what it leaves out.

Naq

GDPR arrives already mapped: 47 requirements linked to 19 ready-made controls.

No mapping from scratch
Step
2

Map who holds personal data

You

Connect Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, then list each processing activity: whose data it is, your lawful basis, and how long you keep it.

Naq

Finds your devices and cloud services, checks that every supplier that needs a data processing agreement has one, and flags any activity with no lawful basis or retention period.

Gaps found for you
Step
3

Write your privacy policies

You

Review the policies, approve them, and send them to all staff.

Naq

Gives you 30 ready-written GDPR templates, from your privacy policy to breach notification, and tracks who has read and acknowledged each one.

No blank pages
Step
4

Train your staff

You

Assign the courses to a whole team at once.

Naq

Includes 14 training courses for GDPR, with a five-part privacy series, and shows at a glance who is overdue.

No chasing by email
Step
5

Assess risky processing

You

When a new system will hold sensitive data, describe it and review the draft.

Naq

The DPIA agent drafts your data protection impact assessment from the records you already keep in Naq.

Drafted from your own records
Step
6

Get ready for a data breach

You

Log an incident, contain it and resolve it, with the lessons you learned.

Naq

Checks that every data breach has a decision on telling the ICO within 72 hours.

The 72-hour decision is tracked
Then, prove it

Checked every night, not once a year.

Naq links your evidence to the right controls and checks it every night. A lapsed policy review or a missing lawful basis is flagged before a customer finds it.

Trust Centre

Show customers, before they ask.

Publish your GDPR controls and documents on your own Trust Centre. Customers answer their own questions, so their supplier questionnaires get shorter.

1
Customers filter your controls to GDPR

They see which controls are in place, without a call or a spreadsheet.

2
They request a restricted document

For example your DPIA, with their reason for asking.

3
You approve the request

Naq emails them a link straight away.
