GDPR documentation generator
The GDPR governs the processing of personal data of individuals in the EU. Accountability (Art. 5(2)) requires documented policies, records of processing, and procedures for data subject rights and breach response.
GDPR accountability means you must be able to demonstrate compliance, not just claim it. That requires documented policies, a record of processing activities, and procedures for data subject rights and breach response. CompliWiseAI generates the GDPR documentation an EU regulator expects — tailored to the personal data your organization processes and the lawful bases you rely on.

GDPR — frequently asked questions
What GDPR documentation do I need?+
Core GDPR documents include a data protection policy, an external privacy notice, a Record of Processing Activities (Article 30), a data subject rights procedure, a personal data breach response procedure (Articles 33–34), a retention policy, and a Data Processing Agreement template (Article 28). CompliWiseAI generates each of these.
Do I need a Data Protection Officer (DPO)?+
A DPO is mandatory only in specific cases — public authorities, large-scale systematic monitoring, or large-scale processing of special-category data. CompliWiseAI flags this in your readiness checklist; appointing a DPO is your organization's decision.
Does CompliWiseAI provide legal advice?+
No. CompliWiseAI generates GDPR documentation to accelerate your compliance programme. It is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice; complex processing should be reviewed by a qualified privacy professional.
