Where companies break
The four privacy failures we see in almost every audit
Across hundreds of privacy audits, the same four gaps come up again and again. None of them are exotic. All of them are deal-breakers in an enterprise procurement review.
- Privacy policy doesn't match what the product actually does — generator output describing data flows the company doesn't even have.
- No DPA, or a DPA that wasn't updated for the 2021 EU SCCs and the post-Schrems II transfer regime.
- Cookie banner that tracks before consent — illegal under GDPR and most US state laws, and a regulator's first easy fine.
- No documented data-subject-request workflow — meaning the first GDPR access request lands as a fire drill, not a process.
