/cs:gdpr-audit-prep — GDPR DPO Forcing Questions

Command: /cs:gdpr-audit-prep <scope>

The GDPR DPO auditor pressure-tests any privacy compliance work. Six Article-cited questions before any internal audit, breach response, DPA investigation, or acquisition due diligence.

When to Run

• Before annual internal GDPR audit
• Before quarterly Article 30 RoPA refresh
• Before launching new high-risk processing (Article 35 DPIA required)
• Post-breach (Articles 33-34)
• Before DPA investigation response or supervisory authority engagement
• During acquisition due diligence (target company privacy posture)
• Quarterly during high-volume new-feature shipping

The Six DPO Questions

1. Show me the Article 30 RoPA — with last-updated date.

Most-cited finding area.

• Must include all Article 30(1)(a)-(g) elements for controllers
• Must include all Article 30(2)(a)-(d) elements for processors
• Updated within reasonable time of changes (90 days expected)
• Joint controller arrangements documented per Article 26

2. For this processing activity, what's the lawful basis under Article 6?

Article 6 is exclusive — pick ONE basis per purpose.

• Six options: consent / contract / legal obligation / vital interests / public task / legitimate interests
• Where "legitimate interests": LIA documented
• Where "consent": records per Article 7; withdrawal mechanism
• Special categories (Article 9) require an Article 9(2) exception

3. For high-risk processing, where's the DPIA per Article 35?

Required for high-risk; sample 3-5 activities.

• Article 35(7)(a)-(d) required elements:
  • Systematic description of processing
  • Necessity + proportionality assessment
  • Risks to rights + freedoms
  • Measures to address risks
• DPO consulted per Article 35(2)
• Article 36 prior consultation triggered for residual high risk
• For AI systems: integrates with EU AI Act Article 27 FRIA (cross-check with cs-ai-act-compliance)

4. Show me a DSAR from the last 30 days — and the response timing.

Articles 15-22 operational workflow.

• Response within 1 month (Article 12(3)); extension up to 2 months for complex requests
• Identity verification process documented
• Right of access response includes all Article 15 information
• Right to erasure (Article 17) workflow covers backups + processors

5. Show me Transfer Impact Assessments for the largest non-EU transfers.

Schrems II discipline.

• Adequacy decision OR SCCs (Article 46) OR derogation (Article 49)
• TIA per EDPB Recommendations 01/2020 + 02/2020
• Supplementary measures where TIA flagged risk
• US transfers covered by EU-US Data Privacy Framework adequacy (Jul 2023) — verify list of certified entities

6. Show me the breach log per Article 33(5) — all breaches, not just notifiable ones.

Article 33(5) requires logging ALL breaches.

• Internal breach detection mechanism documented
• Article 33 DPA notification within 72 hours (where required)
• Article 34 data subject notification (where high risk)
• Root cause + corrective action via CAPA system
• Cross-check with cs-ciso-iso27001 for A.5.24-27 incident management alignment
