Individual Data Rights
Individuals have rights including access, rectification, erasure, data portability, and the right to object to certain types of processing.
GDPR
GDPR is the world's most influential data privacy law. Cstream helps you get compliant quickly and easily, so you can earn the trust of customers and partners across Europe and beyond.
What is it
The GDPR is the EU's data privacy law. It applies to any company that collects, processes, or stores personal data of EU or UK individuals, regardless of where the company is based. It is built around principles such as lawfulness, purpose limitation, data minimization, and accountability, and gives individuals rights over how their personal data is collected and used.
Individuals have rights including access, rectification, erasure, data portability, and the right to object to certain types of processing.
Organizations may need to conduct DPIAs for processing activities that are likely to result in a high risk to individuals.
Organizations may need to maintain a ROPA documenting what personal data they process, why it is processed, and how it is managed.
Organizations may be required to appoint a DPO depending on the nature, scope, and circumstances of their data processing activities.
Any company that collects, processes, or stores personal data belonging to individuals in the EU or UK may be subject to GDPR, regardless of where the company itself is headquartered.

Frequently asked questions
Cstream connects directly to your cloud and IT tools to pull evidence automatically, so you're not manually uploading everything.
Yes, they can review status in the audit dashboard, where each requirement is mapped to its control and control test, giving them a clear overall view of compliance status.
No. Unlike ISO 27001, there is no official GDPR certification issued by a governing body. Compliance is demonstrated through documented processes, data protection practices, and accountability records such as ROPA and DPIAs.
A controller determines the purpose and means of processing personal data. A processor processes data on behalf of the controller, such as a SaaS vendor processing customer data. Both have distinct obligations under GDPR.
Depending on the severity and nature of the violation, GDPR fines can reach up to €20 million or 4% of global annual revenue, whichever is higher.
GDPR compliance is not a one-time event. Data processing activities, vendor relationships, and consent records require ongoing maintenance. Cstream continuously monitors your controls so you're always ready, rather than scrambling before a regulator's request.
