05 — Top Priorities
What matters most
-
Access ControlCRITICAL
Can the organization (as a non-EU controller/processor) demonstrate that it has designated a representative in the Union?
-
Encryption At RestCRITICAL
Can the organization demonstrate that it discontinues logical and physical protections over physical assets only after data and software are no longer recoverable?
-
Encryption In TransitCRITICAL
Can the organization demonstrate that it discontinues logical and physical protections over physical assets only after data and software are no longer recoverable?
-
Key ManagementCRITICAL
Can the organization demonstrate that it discontinues logical and physical protections over physical assets only after data and software are no longer recoverable?
-
Consent ManagementHIGH
Can the organization demonstrate that it provides information free of charge and has procedures for manifestly unfounded or excessive requests?
