GDPR – Tools Available

Well, available but I am not sure that the companies know what they have got. I visited a trade show recently and saw some interesting products that might just help us all in the quest for GDPR compliance.

1. Site vulnerability testing

Provides a fast / simple way to test your web site for security weaknesses. The initial test is totally free ! My guess is that when they discover weaknesses they will charge for consultancy or charge to help you resolve

2. Data validation

Want to check that your data is still up to date? This company provides a data validation service allowing you to check that the name/email/address/number you have in your customer database are accurate. This is a great way to demonstrate due diligence.

3. Re-optin

Want to make sure that your data is GDPR complaint before the May deadline. This is absolutely vital if you want to be able to market to them post GDPR. Don’t miss out – you can of course legally market to the customer you collected under DPA but come GDPR you WILL NOT be able to market to any customers that have only DPA compliance. This is a nightmare scenario. Don’t dump your data – use the re-optin options now.

Let me know if you want any contact details.

Ok, so maybe this only helps a bit– but every little helps !

Good luck all.
