The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Spain’s Organic Law 3/2018 (LOPDGDD) impose strict legal requirements on any organisation that processes personal data. The Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD) enforces these laws and can issue fines of up to €20 million or 4% of annual global turnover, whichever is higher.

Despite this, many SMEs, freelancers, and professional firms still struggle to comply with these obligations—leaving themselves open to significant legal and financial risk.

What Does the GDPR Require?

According to the official AEPD website, organisations that process personal data must adopt a proactive approach and implement the following key measures:

• Keep an up-to-date record of processing activities
• Appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO) where applicable
• Carry out risk assessments and, where necessary, Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs)
• Implement data protection by design and by default
• Ensure appropriate technical and organisational security measures (as per Article 32 of the GDPR)
• Notify the AEPD and affected individuals in the event of a data breach

These requirements must be complied with continuously and documented thoroughly to demonstrate accountability.

Compliance Without Complexity?

Most businesses face challenges like:

• How do I document all my data processing activities properly?
• Do I need a DPIA, and how do I carry it out?
• What should I do if there’s a data breach?
• How can I comply without hiring legal experts or spending countless hours?

Without a structured system in place, meeting these obligations can become time-consuming, error-prone, and risky.
