For Data Protection Officers
EU compliance software for the DPO mandate
EuroComply gives Data Protection Officers a single workspace that combines GDPR Records of Processing (Article 30), Data Protection Impact Assessments (Article 35), incident logs (Article 33), and the adjacent EU regulatory regimes — AI Act, NIS 2, DORA, CRA, Data Act — that increasingly overlap with the DPO's mandate.
What software does a Data Protection Officer need?
EuroComply gives Data Protection Officers a single workspace that combines GDPR Records of Processing (Article 30), Data Protection Impact Assessments (Article 35), incident logs (Article 33), and the adjacent EU regulatory regimes — AI Act, NIS 2, DORA, CRA, Data Act — that increasingly overlap with the DPO's mandate.
- Article 30 ROPA register with lawful-basis and retention metadata
- Article 35 DPIA workflow tied to high-risk criteria
- Article 33/34 breach-notification log with the 72-hour timer
- Cross-regulation visibility — AI Act, NIS 2, DORA, CRA increasingly intersect with the DPO mandate

Tools in EuroComply for DPOs
Article 30 Record of Processing Activities (ROPA)
Maintain the Article 30 register with structured fields per processing activity. Tied directly to the lawful-basis and retention metadata required by the regulation.
Article 35 DPIA workflow
Step-through DPIA template based on the Article 35(7) required content; risk scoring tied to the supervisory authority's published high-risk criteria.
Article 33 / 34 breach notification log
Capture incidents with the 72-hour notification timer; structured fields match the Article 33(3) required content for the supervisory authority.
AI Act readiness for DPOs
The AI Act creates obligations that overlap with the DPO's mandate (Article 27 fundamental-rights impact assessments, biometric-categorisation prohibitions). Map them alongside GDPR.
