Under Attack?
GDPR
If your organization serves customers, partners, or offices in the EU or UK, GDPR may apply to you regardless of where you're based. We help you understand those obligations and meet them without disrupting the business.
GDPR doesn't stop at the border
GDPR applies to organizations outside Europe in three situations: where you have an establishment in the EU, where you offer goods or services to people there, and where you monitor their behaviour. The UK operates its own regime, UK GDPR, with the same shape and its own regulator. Being based in Canada changes none of it.
The obligation often surfaces when a new EU client asks for proof of compliance, or when an audit turns up a gap that hadn't been on anyone's radar.
We help you understand how personal data moves through your organization, identify the gaps against the requirements, and build a realistic compliance plan. That plan gets built with the people who'll need to carry it out.
Your path to GDPR compliance
-
Assessment: Comparing your current environment and data practices against the requirements to identify where the gaps are.
-
Improvement: A remediation plan built from the assessment findings, closing the gaps and bringing you to the standard the regulation requires.
-
DPIA: Where your processing activities call for one, we guide you through a Data Protection Impact Assessment. A DPIA is the instrument required under GDPR Article 35, and it's distinct from the Privacy Impact Assessment we run for Canadian organizations, though the two share much of their structure.
-
Training: Targeted training for the people handling personal data day-to-day, so awareness sits with those doing the work.
-
Ongoing compliance: A data protection and governance program built for your organization, with GDPR controls monitored on a continuing basis.
-
Privacy Officer as a Service: Advisory support, monitoring, training, and updates on how GDPR developments apply to you, without hiring a full-time privacy officer.

GDPR FAQs
What is GDPR and who does it apply to?
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is an EU-wide data privacy law that applies to any organization that processes personal data belonging to people in the EU or UK, regardless of where that organization is based. It sets out how organizations must collect, store, use, and protect personal data, with significant penalties for non-compliance.
Does GDPR apply to us if we're based in Canada?
It can. GDPR follows the data, not the border. If your organization processes personal data belonging to people in the EU or UK, through customers, an office, or a vendor relationship, GDPR's requirements apply to you the same way they'd apply to a company based in Europe.
Is UK GDPR different from EU GDPR?
They're closely aligned but technically separate regimes since Brexit. If your organization processes personal data tied to both the EU and the UK, we help you understand where the two overlap and where they diverge, so your compliance program matches your footprint.
What GDPR services does Integrity360 provide?
With support from our larger, global team, we offer a full range of GDPR support, including data protection gap assessments, Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs), policy development, data mapping, breach response planning, and outsourced Data Protection Officer (DPO) services.
What is a GDPR gap assessment?
A GDPR gap assessment evaluates your organization's current data protection practices against GDPR's requirements. It highlights areas of non-compliance and risk exposure and provides a clear remediation roadmap.
When is a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) required?
A DPIA is mandatory under GDPR when processing is likely to be a high risk to individuals' rights and freedoms, for example when using new technologies, conducting large-scale profiling, or handling sensitive personal data. This is different from the Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) we conduct under PIPEDA. A DPIA applies specifically to processing that falls under GDPR, while a PIA is our standard for privacy risk generally. If you're not sure which applies to your organization, we'll help you figure that out.
Can Integrity360 act as our outsourced DPO?
Yes. We offer outsourced DPO services, providing expert data protection advice, oversight, and regulatory liaison, particularly useful for organizations without in-house privacy expertise.
How does GDPR compliance support cybersecurity strategy?
GDPR requires organizations to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data. This complements your broader cybersecurity strategy by reinforcing practices like encryption, access control, breach response, and ongoing risk management.
What makes Integrity360's GDPR services different?
We combine GDPR expertise with an understanding of how Canadian organizations operate, so you get a compliance program that fits your business instead of a European framework applied without context. That means practical, risk-based guidance that gets you to compliance without unnecessary complexity.
