GDPR Readiness Checklist for SaaS Teams
A practical checklist for reviewing privacy policies, processors, retention, rights, legal bases, and cookie disclosures.
Start with the controller story
A GDPR-ready privacy policy should make it obvious who controls the processing, how to contact them, and why personal data is collected.
If a user cannot identify the controller, the policy already creates avoidable review friction.
Map purposes to legal bases
Each major processing purpose should have a legal basis under Article 6. Avoid broad claims that every activity is covered by consent or legitimate interest.
For SaaS teams, common purposes include account management, payments, security logs, support, analytics, and marketing.
Keep processors current
Third-party tools change faster than legal documents. Payments, analytics, auth, chat, email, and hosting vendors should be checked regularly.
Normio separates these processor gaps from core GDPR text findings so teams can route the work correctly.
