What is GDPR compliance?
The EU General Data Protection Regulation governs how organizations handle EU residents' personal data, with strict consent, transfer, and breach rules and heavy fines. Macksofy helps Indian businesses serving EU customers map processing, implement controls, and align GDPR with DPDP obligations.
GDPR is leverage, not paperwork.
GDPR fines reached €4.48 billion cumulative by 2024, with several €1B+ single-entity penalties. Indian + UAE businesses targeting EU customers (or monitoring EU residents) fall under Article 3(2) extraterritorial reach. Macksofy delivers GDPR readiness alongside DPDP and ISO 27701 — a single program that satisfies both regimes.
- B2B SaaS with EU enterprise customers
- E-commerce shipping to EU + UK
- EdTech + healthtech with EU residents
- BPO / KPO processing EU data on behalf of clients
- Digital marketing / adtech tracking EU residents
Aligned to the regulations that matter.
