What does this assessment cover?

Five core areas. The assessment walks the GDPR obligations small businesses meet most often: what personal data you collect, how you process and store it, how you share it with third parties, and how you would handle a breach.

What you get. An overall score, a breakdown by area, and plain-English fixes for the gaps — drawn from the regulation and widely recognised guidance.

What it isn't. This is general guidance, not legal advice and not a certification of compliance. Every recommendation is optional; following it reduces common risks but does not guarantee compliance. Responsibility for meeting the GDPR remains with you.
