A guide to your RoPA Report

Stay GDPR compliant by creating and managing your automated RoPA Report

The GDPR requires companies to keep a record of their processing activities (“RoPA”)  to enable privacy audits. Maintaining an organized data structure is vital for ROPA compliance. An automated no-code data mapping solution can help companies answer any question or request related to data, saving hours of research, potential compliance risks, and a lot of frustrations all around.

1. Adding a new activity 

You can now add a new activity to your RoPA report manually.
