Why It Matters

A generic checklist doesn't know what your business does

Most "GDPR checklist" PDFs floating around online treat a three-person consultancy the same as a two-hundred-person e-commerce operation — they list every possible obligation and leave you to figure out which ones actually apply. That's how compliance work either stalls entirely or wastes hours on requirements that don't fit your business.

This checklist is generated from what you actually do — the data you collect, whether you handle special categories or international transfers, whether you have employees — so what you get back is a list you can genuinely work through, not a legal encyclopedia.

1

Describe your business

What you do, what data you collect, and the tools and third parties involved.

2

Get a personalised checklist

Prioritised action items that actually apply to your situation — not a generic list.

3

Track and export

Check items off as you complete them, and export a PDF report for your records.

Common Questions

Before you start

How is this different from a generic PDF checklist?▼
It's generated around your actual business — size, sector, and the specific data you handle — so it doesn't include obligations that don't apply to you, and doesn't miss ones that do just because a generic template skipped them.
Does it cover every possible GDPR requirement?▼
It focuses on the practical obligations that matter for how most SMBs operate — records of processing, lawful basis, data subject rights, security measures, and third-party agreements. It isn't a substitute for a full legal audit of an unusual or high-risk operation.
Can I save my progress?▼
Yes — check items off as you complete them and export the whole checklist, with your progress, as a PDF you can keep on file or share internally.
Is the information I enter stored?▼
No. Your business details are sent to our AI provider to generate the checklist, then discarded — nothing is retained on our servers. See the note below for the full legal basis.
Do I still need a DPO or lawyer?▼
For most small businesses, working through this checklist covers the practical ground. If you process special category data at scale, operate across many countries, or face regulatory scrutiny, get a data protection specialist involved too.
Who is this checklist for?▼
Small and medium-sized businesses that need to get practically compliant without an in-house legal or data protection team — a first structured pass, not a replacement for one when the stakes are high.
