What Every GDPR Engagement Covers
Seven areas, checked and re-checked, every single time.
Who processes your data, and what they've legally agreed to do with it
How data is protected, both sitting still and moving between systems
What's tracked, so nothing happens without a record of it
Who can access data, and how the system enforces those limits
Where your data lives, and what happens if it ever needs to leave the EU
How someone can request their data be accessed, corrected, or deleted
What happens the moment something goes wrong
A Process, Not a Template
Not a one-line assurance. A defined methodology, followed on every European engagement.
Every GDPR engagement follows the same four-step process before a single line of code is written:
-
Regulatory research: A detailed review of current EU GDPR law as it applies to the specific engagement, not a generic checklist pulled off the shelf
-
Client-specific adaptive research: Every industry carries different obligations. A German aviation client operating under EASA and the LBA faces stricter requirements than a client operating under GDPR alone, and the research reflects that difference
-
A DPA built from that research: A Data Processing Agreement template, with an active checklist, built specifically around what that research uncovered
-
Execution tied to finalized architecture: once the system's architecture is finalized, including a detailed map of exactly where every piece of data flows, the DPA and checklist are filled in and executed against the real system, not a theoretical one
A few real examples of what this looks like in practice:
-
Access is enforced through least-privilege service accounts, each system component has only the exact permissions it needs, never broad or shared credentials
-
Service-to-service communication uses signed identity tokens rather than static, shared credentials
-
Database access is scoped to exact permissions per use case, never blanket access
On certifications, plainly: Every system we build runs on infrastructure independently certified to ISO 27001, ISO 27017, ISO 27018, and SOC 2/3 (Google Cloud's own certifications). Autonomous Assets designs and implements every system following GDPR requirements, but we don't claim our own separate certification, GDPR compliance is an ongoing obligation, not a badge a company can hold.
Not Just a Policy. Built for the Strictest Cases Already.
This isn't theoretical, it's already running.
One of our German aviation clients operates under GDPR, EASA, and the LBA simultaneously, three overlapping regulatory frameworks, not one. The same process described above was applied there in full, adaptive research scoped to aviation specifically, a DPA built around that research, and execution tied to a fully mapped data architecture. If our process holds up under three overlapping regulatory frameworks at once, it holds up for a single one.
