How it works

Four steps to a governed evidence pack

GDPRLedger doesn't do the work for you — it governs the proof that you did it.

01

Complete your assessment

Answer 42 questions about your organisation. GDPRLedger identifies your priority areas and sequences your compliance programme accordingly.

02

Work through guided tasks

Each task shows you the statutory requirement in plain English, a checklist of what your evidence must include, and an illustrative example — not a template, but a model to work from.

03

Upload and verify evidence

Upload your document. The Document Structure Scan cross-references it against the statutory checklist and flags which elements are present, partial, or not yet addressed.

04

Download your evidence pack

A SHA-256 tamper-evident export captures your entire governance record — tasks completed, evidence uploaded, timestamps — in a format you can share with auditors, clients, or regulators.

GDPRLedger · Standard & Pro · Professional Services

Two tiers. One difference that matters.

Standard helps you complete and record a structured GDPR governance programme for your own organisation. Pro extends that programme for regulated professional-services firms operating across GDPR, AML, and processor obligations.

The real difference

Standard governs a business.
Pro governs a data custodian.

Professional services firms don't just hold their own data — they hold their clients' data, their clients' clients' data, and sensitive AML records with statutory retention obligations that actively conflict with GDPR. That's a categorically different compliance posture.

Standard · General business organisations

You are a data controller

You determine the purposes and means of processing your own operational data — customer records, staff data, marketing, suppliers. GDPR's full framework applies in its general form.

  • Regulatory pressure: ICO enforcement, fines, reputational risk
  • Primary obligation: comply with UK/EU GDPR for your own data
  • Evidence audience: ICO, internal governance, customers
  • Renewal: annual re-validation of your own programme
54 tasks · typically 20–25 hours · €149 one-off
Pro · Regulated professional services

You are a controller, a processor, and a regulated entity

You control your own data, process your clients' data as their processor, and operate under MLR 2017 / POCA 2002 which impose AML obligations that directly conflict with GDPR's erasure and storage limitation principles.

  • Regulatory pressure: ICO + HMRC + NCA + professional body
  • Primary obligation: GDPR + MLR 2017 + POCA 2002 simultaneously
  • Evidence audience: ICO, clients, ICAEW/ACCA/SRA, tenders
  • Renewal: annual re-attestation including AML record destruction triggers
87 tasks · typically 35–40 hours · €499 one-off
What Pro adds beyond the tasks

Six things Pro does that Standard can't

The 33 additional tasks are the foundation. These are the structural features that make Pro a categorically different product — not just more tasks.

📦

A second evidence pack — client-shareable

Standard produces one evidence pack: a governed record of your firm's GDPR governance programme. Pro produces two. The second is a sanitised client-shareable processor governance pack — a structured, time-stamped record of how your firm governs client data, built from the sector-specific programme you've completed. It can support onboarding discussions, tender responses, and client due-diligence requests, though controllers must still conduct their own Article 28 assessments. Standard can't produce this because it has no sector context. Pro produces it as a natural output of completing the programme.

Pro only
⚖️

Dual-framework AI document scan

Standard's AI document scan cross-references your documents against the GDPR structural checklist. Pro runs a second pass against the MLR 2017 framework simultaneously. A CDD policy gets scanned against both: are the GDPR lawful basis elements identified and the MLR 2017 Reg. 40 retention elements identified? Two statutory checklists. One submission. Two independent checklist outputs showing which elements were identified, partially identified, or not identified. Standard physically cannot do this — it has no MLR context.

Pro only
🗺️

Regulatory obligations matrix — live

Pro produces a regulatory disclosure matrix: every mandatory report and disclosure your firm must make, to whom, triggered by what, within what timeframe, with named responsible persons. HMRC, NCA, ICO, ICAEW, FCA. Not a static document filed as evidence — an operational tool your compliance team actually uses. Standard produces no equivalent because a general SME doesn't face multi-regulator mandatory reporting obligations.

Pro only
🔒

Tipping-off × DSAR — documented procedure built in

When a DSAR lands from someone who is the subject of a SAR filed with the NCA, responding fully risks the criminal offence of tipping off under POCA 2002 s.333A. Pro includes a documented workflow for handling this higher-risk scenario: SAR log check on receipt of every DSAR, MLRO escalation, selective withholding basis (DPA 2018 Sch. 2 Para 2), and a structured response record. Because these situations are highly fact-sensitive, qualified legal or MLRO review may still be required — but Pro ensures the firm has a documented procedure rather than no procedure at all. Standard's DSAR procedure has no awareness of this conflict.

Pro only
🔄

Annual re-attestation is materially heavier

Standard re-validation is a lightweight annual refresh: confirm nothing material changed, re-sign. Pro re-attestation triggers a structured annual review: AML records approaching the 5-year destruction point are identified and destruction is authorised and logged; closed client matters trigger retention schedule review; DPO annual review is conducted; the regulatory matrix is checked against any regulatory changes; role-specific training completion is verified. This is an annual governance cycle, not a checkbox. It justifies a separate re-attestation price.

🤝

Pro firms become a distribution channel

An accountancy firm that completes GDPRLedger Pro holds a governed, attested record of its own data governance programme. When it advises SME clients on GDPR, it has a natural referral path: GDPRLedger Standard for the client. The Pro firm's governance record demonstrates that it runs a serious, documented programme — the Standard referral is the commercial event. Pro firms can join the partner programme and earn 20–25% recurring commission on every client they refer — turning their own governance spend into a revenue stream.

Pro + Partner
Evidence packs

Standard: one pack. Pro: two.

The second pack is a client-shareable governance summary for onboarding, due diligence, and tender support. Pro produces it as a natural output of completing the programme — a structured governance record your firm can share.

AI document scan

Pro scans two statutory frameworks.
Standard scans one.

When you submit a document, Pro cross-references it against both the GDPR structural checklist and the MLR 2017 checklist. One submission. Two independent outputs showing which elements were identified, partially identified, or not identified. Neither is legal advice — both are governed evidence of what your document contains.

What the scan identifies Standard Pro
GDPR Framework
Privacy notice — Art. 13/14 structural elements identified
DPA — Art. 28(3) mandatory clause elements identified
Breach plan — 72-hour notification procedure identified
DSAR procedure — one-month deadline mechanism identified
MLR 2017 Framework — Pro only
CDD retention policy — 5-year minimum from end of relationship stated
AML/GDPR conflict — Art. 17(3)(b) erasure exemption documented
DSAR procedure — SAR check step and tipping-off protocol present

Questions

Common questions

Do I need Pro or Standard?
If your firm holds personal data for clients — as a processor — and operates under MLR 2017 / POCA 2002 obligations (accountancy, legal, financial services, regulated advisory), you need Pro. If you're a general business that doesn't hold client data or face AML obligations, Standard is the right fit. If you're not sure, ask yourself: do clients ask you for evidence of your data handling before onboarding you? If yes — that's the Pro buyer signal.
Can I start with Standard and upgrade to Pro later?
Yes. Standard is the foundation — all 54 Standard tasks are carried forward into Pro unchanged. If you complete Standard and later decide to extend to Pro, your existing evidence and completed tasks are preserved. You would purchase Pro and complete the 33 additional tasks. There is no need to repeat work already completed.
What is the client-shareable processor governance pack?
When you act as a data processor for clients, they have a right to understand how you protect their data. Tenders, enterprise clients, and professional body assessors increasingly ask for documented evidence — not just verbal assurance. The Pro governance pack includes a sanitised summary designed to be shared: your firm's security standards framework, your documented AML/GDPR procedures, your DPO details (if appointed), and the GovProtocol tamper-evident attestation. It is a structured, client-shareable record of the programme your firm has completed — not a legal certification of adequacy, but a governed, time-stamped account of the steps your firm has taken.
What is the tipping-off × DSAR procedure?
Under POCA 2002 s.333A, it is a criminal offence to disclose that a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) has been filed with the NCA if that disclosure is likely to prejudice an investigation. When a DSAR arrives from someone who is the subject of a SAR, responding in full risks committing this offence. Pro includes a documented workflow for handling this scenario: SAR log check on receipt of every DSAR, MLRO escalation, selective withholding basis (DPA 2018 Schedule 2 Para 2), and a structured response record. Because these situations are highly fact-sensitive, qualified legal or MLRO review may still be required — but Pro ensures the firm has a documented internal procedure rather than none. Standard's DSAR procedure has no awareness of this conflict. NCA Circular 004/2021 informs the task framework.
Is this legal advice?
No. GDPRLedger is a governance programme tool — it structures the process by which you work through your obligations, collects evidence that you've done so, and produces a timestamped record. The three-layer guidance (statutory requirements in plain English, inclusion checklist, illustrative example) is derived from statute and published ICO/EDPB guidance. It does not determine whether you are compliant, does not constitute legal advice, and is not a substitute for it. Complex or unusual situations should always be assessed by a qualified solicitor or data protection practitioner. Completing the programme creates a serious, documented governance record — it does not certify that every legal obligation has been fully met.
What happens when my access period ends?
When the 90-day (Standard) or 120-day (Pro) access period expires, your account moves to read-only mode. You can view and download your governance activity record, evidence pack, and all uploaded documents indefinitely — the pack is yours permanently. You cannot complete new tasks, upload new evidence, or access the AI features. Annual re-validation is available as a separate purchase when your obligations cycle — this re-opens active access and generates a new, dated governance record.
Does Pro cover EU GDPR as well as UK GDPR?
Yes. The GDPRLedger programme is structured around the core GDPR obligations which are substantially equivalent across EU and UK GDPR. UK GDPR / DPA 2018 is the primary reference, with DUAA 2025 changes noted where implemented and material to the programme — that Act's provisions are being phased in between 2025 and 2026. EU GDPR 2016/679 differences are noted where material. The EU representative assessment (Pro Task 68) specifically addresses whether a UK firm with EU clients needs to appoint a representative in an EU member state under Art. 27.
