GDPR Compliance Consultants
Independent GDPR experts who audit your data flows, fix compliance gaps, and keep you out of regulatory trouble.
GDPR compliance is not a one-time checkbox — it requires ongoing attention to data flows, consent mechanisms, vendor contracts, and incident response. A freelance GDPR consultant brings deep regulatory knowledge without the overhead of a full-time hire, letting you move quickly from gap analysis to implementation.
What they do
GDPR consultants map your personal data inventory, assess legal bases for processing, rewrite privacy notices, implement data subject request workflows, review DPAs with vendors, and prepare you for DPA audits.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a GDPR audit typically take?
For a mid-sized company, an initial gap analysis takes 2–4 weeks. Full remediation (updating policies, implementing technical measures, training staff) typically runs 2–4 months depending on complexity.
Do I need a DPO or can a consultant cover that role?
A DPO is legally required for public authorities, organisations doing large-scale systematic monitoring, or those processing special category data at scale. A consultant can fulfil the external DPO function for companies that fall under this obligation, or act as privacy advisor for those that don't.
