Accelerate GDPR compliance
With Aegis, the AI driven, automation powered platform that takes on the heavy lifting associated with GDPR.
Automated evidence gathering, pre-populated documentation, and continuous monitoring all reduce discovery and setup time by up to 50% when compared to manual processes.
- GDPR controls overlap with other frameworks. Aegis automatically cross-references against controls already in place for other standards that can be used for GDPR, avoiding duplication of tasks
- Make the move from periodical checkbox to continuous compliance, where controls are monitored, measured, and maintained year-round.
- No longer need to accept low quality or incomplete data. Automated collection and insights from multiple sources ensures you are always working with the latest information
- Demonstrate and easily share your evidence and compliance achievements in the Aegis Evidence Hub for auditors, clients, regulators, and prospects to view.
The role of your vCISO or vDPO
All Aegis clients are assigned their own Virtual CISO (vCISO) as standard.
This experienced cybersecurity and compliance leader will be the main point of contact throughout our relationship, and will lead the Cyber Essentials certification process.
A vCISO takes the risk out of a high-cost hire. Full time CISOs are expensive but the truth is while all organisations need cybersecurity leadership to oversee security strategy and compliance, most do not need to pay for it on a full-time basis.
Data Protection Officer as-a-service
In a similar scenario to a CISO, an organisation most likely does not need a Data Protection Officer (DPO) in a full-time role, but it may require access to specialist data protection expertise.
Having access to an experienced and knowledgeable outsourced DPO on a fractional basis is a cost-effective solution for improving information security and compliance with data protection laws such as GDPR.
Ensure GDPR compliance every day, not just on audit day
Achieving ongoing GDPR compliance is about maintaining controls and processes around data handling, processing, storage, and transfer.
To succeed, automation and real-time visibility is essential. The last thing leaders need is for new issues to surface close to a re-certification date, resulting in costly delays. Aegis is continuously monitors your systems, immediately flagging issues, and generating remediation snippets so teams can resolve failing areas fast.
Reasons to ensure GDPR compliance
It’s the law
Customers deserve and have the right to know that their personal data is being handled responsibly by organisations they are interacting with.
Unlike other frameworks or standards, GDPR compliance is a legal requirement in the UK and EU, and the financial consequences of non-compliance can be significant.
Organisations that fail to meet GDPR requirements risk fines of up to £17.5 million or 4% of annual global turnover, whichever is higher.
Get a head start with other frameworks
GDPR controls overlap with other security and privacy frameworks like ISO 27001, NIST CSF, SOC 2, and PCI DSS, meaning if you have achieved GDPR compliance, you are also at least part of the way to compliance with at least four other standards.
Our Aegis platform is the perfect tool to accelerate and simplify compliance. Once you have done the work or collected the evidence required for GDPR (or it has already been done for the other standards mentioned), Aegis will tell your team it exists, where to find it, and add it to the projects evidence repository, completely eliminating task duplication.
Raise standards across the organisation
GDPR requires organisations to know what data they collect, where it’s stored, and how it’s used.
These good data practices are essential for improving cybersecurity maturity, customer service, and getting better intelligence out of your data to improve decision making.

GDPR FAQs
GDPR stands for General Data Protection Regulation. It is a comprehensive data privacy law introduced by the European Union (EU) that came into effect on May 25, 2018. It regulates how businesses collect, store, and process personal data of individuals in the EU and EEA.
GDPR applies to:
- Any business or organisation that collects or processes the personal data of EU / EEA residents
- Non-EU companies offering goods or services to EU citizens or monitoring their behaviour
Even if your company is based outside the EU, you may still need to comply with GDPR
Personal data includes any information that can directly or indirectly identify an individual. Examples include (but are not limited to).
- Full name
- Email address
- Home address
- IP address
- Phone number
- Location data
- Online identifiers (e.g. cookies)
No. GDPR compliance is perpetual. Organisations must regularly review data practices, update privacy notices, train staff, and document compliance efforts
Yes. When the UK left the European Union, it retained the core principles of the EU GDPR which became the UK GDPR effective from January 1, 2021. UK GDPR works alongside the UK Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA 2018).
Organisations can be fined up to £17.5 million or 4% of annual global turnover, whichever is higher for non-compliance.
In a vast majority of cases, yes. GDPR requires clear and explicit consent from individuals before collecting or processing their data, especially for marketing or tracking purposes. Consent must be:
- Freely given
- Informed
- Unambiguous
- Easy to withdraw
