Compliance: Data Governance (GDPR)

GDPR and privacy compliance. Includes Data Lineage Mapping, Automated DSR (Data Subject Requests), Encryption Standards and Audit Trail Immutability…

Compliance and data governance put the technical and process controls in place that privacy regulations require. IQDigital implements privacy by design for frameworks such as GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA and SOC 2: mapping where personal data lives and flows, automating data subject requests, encrypting data at rest and in transit, and keeping tamper-proof audit logs.

Who it's for

  • Companies handling personal data of EU or California residents
  • Healthcare and fintech teams with strict regulatory obligations
  • Businesses preparing for a SOC 2 audit or enterprise security review

What is compliance and data governance?

In the digital economy, data privacy is not just a law; it is a brand differentiator. IQDigital transforms Compliance from a bureaucratic headache into a streamlined operational framework. We ensure your infrastructure and processes adhere strictly to GDPR (Europe), CCPA (California), HIPAA (Health), and SOC2 standards. We protect you from the existential threat of regulatory fines.

How privacy by design works

We implement 'Privacy by Design.' We map your 'Data Lineage'—understanding exactly where every byte of PII (Personally Identifiable Information) lives, how it moves, and who has access to it. We implement 'Right to be Forgotten' automation, allowing you to delete user data across all distributed systems with a single API call, meeting the 30-day GDPR requirement instantly.

How we prove compliance

We establish 'Data Governance' councils and retention policies. We configure audit logs that are immutable, ensuring you can prove compliance to any auditor. We secure data at rest (encryption) and in transit (TLS 1.3). We give you the confidence to scale globally without looking over your shoulder.

What's included

  • Data Lineage Mapping — Visualizing data flow across systems.
  • Automated DSR (Data Subject Requests) — Handling deletion/export requests.
  • Encryption Standards — AES-256 for storage, TLS 1.3 for transit.
  • Audit Trail Immutability — Securing logs for regulatory proof.

How an engagement runs

  1. Diagnose (Week 1) — We find the money before we spend yours.
  2. Build (2–8 weeks) — Senior engineers. Your stack. Weekly proof.
  3. Launch (Go-live) — Released against a baseline, not a hope.
  4. Compound (Ongoing) — The second month should beat the first.

How the work is scoped

  • Engagement: Fixed-scope project · optional managed support

Questions about Compliance

Which regulations and standards do you cover?

GDPR (Europe), CCPA (California), HIPAA (US health data) and SOC 2. We implement the technical and operational controls; your legal counsel and auditors confirm compliance.

What is data lineage mapping?

Documenting where every piece of personal data lives, how it moves between systems and who can access it — the starting point for any privacy programme.

How do you handle deletion and export requests?

Data subject requests are automated, so a user's data can be deleted or exported across distributed systems from a single request, within GDPR's deadlines.

How is data protected?

Encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3), with immutable audit logs that let you demonstrate compliance to auditors.
