Compliance Dashboard: Understand control coverage and identify compliance gaps across regulations.
Control Handbook & User Guide: Offer actionable, easy-to-understand policies and guidance.
Combined with external tools like GDPR Register and Enactia, GoTrust provides a full-scale data protection officer guide.
The DPO compliance framework is a structured methodology for implementing privacy controls and risk mitigation strategies. GoTrust provides a dedicated Regulations module, clearly listing applicable mandates and showing how your organization aligns with each one.
Compliance Dashboard dynamically maps each regulation to its specific control set.
Compliance Score measures progress across key privacy activities and highlights areas needing action.
