One challenge with the GDPR is that it was written into law without detailed guidance on its practical application
Without overarching standards like with PCI DSS or pre-defined auditable processes, businesses have to define current compliance levels and define the best way to achieve compliance themselves.
Bytes have developed their GDPR Gap Analysis and GDPR Remediation services to help. Our services enable businesses to gain a clear picture of their current compliance and the processes they need to meet required data privacy standards.

GDPR Gap Analysis
Designed in line with the international standard for the security of information – ISO27001, the premise of our GDPR Gap Analysis is to identify what data you have and how you use it. Once you understand this we will help you in implementing controls to manage this data to the required standard for GDPR.
On completing GDP Gap Analysis you will have the basis for a workable Privacy Information Management System (PIMS) and be able to address the 12 key points the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) recommends UK businesses should focus on to achieve compliance.
GDPR Remediation
Extends work to the operational, physical, technical areas of your business, considering their implemented state. Consultants review how your data is protected and assist you in developing a detailed control and remediation plan.
GDPR Remediation will provide the following:
- A risk-prioritised remediation plan for areas non-conformant to GDPR
- Practical assistance in process mapping, 3rd party audits, policy and procedure document development, risk register definition and project planning
It looks at all areas of the business in scope for privacy information and provides a baseline of all controls in place with guidance to allow you to remediate any failures.
