Our Story

Compliance shouldn't require
a law degree.

Most small businesses know they're supposed to "be GDPR compliant." Far fewer know what that actually means in practice — which forms to fill in, which clauses a contract needs, what to do in the 72 hours after a data breach. The regulation itself runs to dozens of articles of legal text; a busy SMB owner doesn't have time to become an expert in it, and hiring a full-time DPO or a big consultancy is rarely realistic on a small business budget.

GDPRGard started from that gap. It's built by a single GDPR consultant working with small businesses in practice, not a legal department writing theory — so the priority has always been usable output over generic advice: a reviewed contract, a drafted policy, a ready-to-send breach notification, not just another checklist telling you what you already knew you had to do.

The tools are built with AI assistance (we're upfront about that — see exactly how), which is what makes it possible for one person to maintain seven working compliance tools instead of one static PDF template. The result is meant to sit between "read the regulation yourself" and "hire a law firm" — practical enough to use today, honest about what it isn't.

Mission & Vision

What we're working towards.

🎯
Our Mission
To help organisations understand GDPR, reduce compliance risk, and protect the personal data they hold — without the legal jargon that usually comes with it. Every tool exists to turn a regulatory obligation into something a small business can actually act on today, so they can build customer trust and grow responsibly instead of treating compliance as a box to check once and forget.
🔭
Our Vision
To become one of the most practical, honest GDPR resources available to small businesses across Europe — a place where privacy compliance is simple enough that any SMB, however small, can meet it properly. That's the goal we're building toward, one tool and one honest answer at a time, not a claim we're making about where we already are.
What Makes Us Different

Built for real businesses,
not compliance theatre.

No inflated claims — just what the suite actually does, and why it's built this way.

🤖
AI-powered, real output
Every tool produces something you can use immediately — a reviewed contract, a drafted policy, a breach notification letter — not just a list of things to go and do yourself.
🇪🇺
Grounded in real guidance
Built from published EDPB and AZOP (Croatian DPA) guidance and the text of the Regulation itself — not assumptions about what GDPR probably requires. See our sources →
💬
Plain language, no jargon
Every guide and tool explains concepts the way we'd explain them to a client across a table — clear, direct, and free of unnecessary legalese.
🏘️
Designed for SMEs
Priced and scoped for small businesses, startups, and solo consultants — not built around an enterprise compliance department's budget or workflow.
🔍
Honest about our limits
We publish exactly what we don't have yet — no formal DPA, no third-party security audit, no inflated certifications. Trust page → · Security page →
🔄
Continuously updated
The suite grows as regulatory guidance evolves and as real users tell us what's missing — this isn't a static PDF template shelved after launch.

FAQ

Questions people actually ask.

What is GDPRGard?▼
GDPRGard is a suite of seven AI-powered compliance tools — contract review, proposal drafting, HR documents, breach notification, VAT checks, invoice extraction, and a GDPR audit — built for European SMBs, plus free guides, checklists, and eBooks. It's founder-led, built with AI assistance, and grounded in real GDPR consulting experience.
Who is GDPRGard for?▼
Small and medium-sized businesses, startups, e-commerce stores, SaaS companies, marketing agencies, HR departments, hospitality businesses, consultants, and non-profits operating in or serving the EU — anyone who needs practical compliance help without an in-house legal team.
Do I need GDPR compliance if I'm a small business?▼
Yes — GDPR applies to any organisation processing personal data of people in the EU, regardless of size. There's no small-business exemption, though the obligations that apply in practice do scale with what data you actually collect and how you use it.
Do you provide legal advice?▼
No. GDPRGard's tools generate drafts, checklists, and analysis to help you move faster on compliance tasks — they are not a substitute for a qualified lawyer or Data Protection Officer, particularly for high-stakes decisions like breach notifications or employment contracts.
Can I use your templates and tools?▼
Yes — every tool in the suite is free to try with no signup required. Paid plans add features like expert human review with a guaranteed turnaround. See each tool's page for exactly what's included at each tier.
How often are your resources updated?▼
The suite is revised whenever regulatory guidance changes or user feedback surfaces a gap — there's no fixed schedule, but it isn't a "publish once and forget" set of templates either.
