What is GDPR?
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the European Union's comprehensive data protection and privacy law. It establishes rules for how organizations collect, process, store, use, and protect personal data relating to individuals in the European Union and European Economic Area.
The GDPR is built around principles such as lawfulness, fairness and transparency, purpose limitation, data minimization, accuracy, storage limitation, integrity and confidentiality, and accountability.
It also provides individuals with significant rights over their personal data and establishes obligations for organizations that process personal data.
For organizations subject to the GDPR, compliance requires more than creating a privacy policy. It requires an ongoing privacy management program covering data processing, risks, rights, documentation, security, third parties, and accountability.
Sahl helps bring these activities together in one GRC platform.
General Data Protection Regulation
- Comprehensive EU data protection and privacy regulation
- Rules for processing and protecting personal data
- Significant rights for individuals over their personal data
- Strong emphasis on accountability and documentation

GDPR compliance touches every part of your privacy program.
Modern organizations process personal data across websites, applications, HR systems, CRM platforms, cloud services, marketing tools, vendors, and internal business operations.
- Understand what personal data you process
- Document why personal data is processed
- Track where personal data is stored
- Understand who has access to personal data
- Manage applicable legal bases
- Track data retention requirements
- Understand who personal data is shared with
- Identify and manage privacy risks
- Manage data-subject requests and demonstrate compliance
GDPR also introduces significant accountability requirements, making documentation and evidence an important part of an effective privacy program. Sahl helps turn these requirements into structured, manageable workflows.
