GDPR can be complex, so that’s why we're simplifying it. With an intuitive and easy to use data management platform, we’re helping organisations of all sizes effectively manage and maintain GDPR compliance.
Why choose The Compliance Space?
Easy to use
The Compliance Space platform has been built with you in mind. We understand that GDPR may not be your day job and experts can be expensive, therefore the platform has been specifically developed to help guide you from start to compliance.
Free and collaborative
The Compliance Space is free* to use, with no limits on users (*limts apply to the number of records and advanced functionality). Our platform is a window into a broad network of independent consultants who assist with your data privacy challenges – we'll match you up with our network of individuals that help solve problems and complete tasks.
Developed by experts
Our GDPR compliance software has been developed exclusively by Data Protection experts. Having first-hand experience of trying [and failing] to find a platform which is not only cost effective but easy to use. Hence we decided to build our own.
Complete visibility
Our real time reporting function enables you to see how effective your data privacy processes are, as well as identifying areas of risk. Available to download as live, these easy to navigate reports reveal key insights such as the volume and type of subject access requests and the nature of breaches experienced.
