You’re probably receiving an avalanche of emails about the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Everyone who has any type of solution is talking about it.
What they have all failed to mention is that GDPR has 181 information governance mandates that are not covered by any standard GDPR solution!
ARMA and Unified Compliance Work Together to Fill the Gaps
In an effort to bridge this gap in compliance coverage, ARMA International, working with the Unified Compliance team, has created the GDPR Audit Guide for Information Governance and Records Management Professionals.
The Guide contains audit questions for all 181 mandates. The mandates are mapped to the Generally Accepted Recordkeeping Principles® (Principles) published by ARMA, and the Common Controls Hub® (CCH®) developed by Unified Compliance.
We’ve done the work of identifying these “hidden” mandates, and providing an audit guide that will allow you to quickly test for compliance. Using this Guide, you’ll become the GDPR compliance hero in your organization.
The GDPR Audit Guide Webinar
You will learn how to use the Guide to ensure information governance and records management compliance with the GDPR. Jocelyn Gunter, CEO at ARMA and Dorian Cougias, co-founder of Unified Compliance will present the webinar to give you an authoritative view of how and why the Guide maps the audit questions with both the Principles and the CCH.
This isn’t an informational webinar. It’s your opportunity to obtain a tool that you must have to achieve GDPR compliance and avoid large penalties.
Attend the webinar being held on January 11, 2018 at 8 a.m. PST.
Who Must Comply with the GDPR?
The GDPR states that the rules follow the data. Therefore, any company that deals with information related to one or more EU citizens must comply. Enforcement of the GDPR will start on May 18, 2018, and fines for non-compliance are heavy.
In summary, almost every U.S. organization must comply with the GDPR. Don’t scramble at the last minute to plan for compliance.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is massive, and everyone who has any type of solution is talking about it. What they have all failed to mention is that GDPR has more than 100 mandates that are not covered in any other authority document (as mapped in the Unified Compliance Common Controls Hub®, with over 1,000 documents in the hub’s library). In addition, these unique mandates focus primarily on information governance!
ARMA and Unified Compliance Work Together to Fill the Gaps
In an effort to bridge this gap in compliance coverage, ARMA International, working with the Unified Compliance team, has put together audit questions following the Generally Accepted Recordkeeping Principles® (Principles®). Each of these audit questions aligns to Mandates within GDPR that are not covered in any other Authority Document.
In addition, Jocelyn Gunter, CEO at ARMA and Dorian Cougias, co-founder of Unified Compliance, will present a webinar on January 11, 2018 at 8 a.m. PST to discuss the new GDPR Audit Guide, and how you can use it to ensure your compliance.
Who Must Comply with the GDPR?
The GDPR states that the rules follow the data. Therefore, any company that deals with information related to one or more EU citizens must comply. Enforcement of the GDPR will start on May 18, 2018, and fines for non-compliance are heavy.
The GDPR Audit Guide
The GDPR audit questions fall into two groups and seven categories.
Group 1: The protection and content assurance of four record examples
Group 2: Mandates related to data processing, impact assessments, and assigning responsibilities
The GDPR Audit Guide Webinar
The webinar will focus on the Principles, and their mapping into the Common Controls Hub, and will then cover, in depth, each of the seven categories mentioned above, providing insight into each of the audit question sets.

Unified Compliance and SDG Corporation recently launched a partnership to integrate the Common Controls Hub® (CCH®) into SDG’s TruOps GRC product.
SDG is an IT security and risk management solutions provider. Their TruOps GRC offers an efficient centralized framework, workflows and notifications, and much more. SDG clients will be able to reduce administrative burden and customize controls in seconds.
In addition, rather than completing a new assessment when Authority Documents are updated, SDG clients will be able to quickly gauge the impact of the new or changed requirements.
If you’re already using the CCH, but want to move to a full GRC product, considering the TruOps would allow you to make the move while still accessing the CCH data.
It doesn’t matter if you’re just starting to research GRC solutions or already using TruOps or the CCH, you have an opportunity to learn more about how this new integration will work and what it means to you.
Register to attend the joint webinar being presented by Dorian Cougias, co-founder of Unified Compliance and Meetali Sharma, SDG Risk, Compliance and Information Security Leader at SDG. The one-hour webinar will be held on Tuesday, December 5, 2017 at 8 a.m. PT, 11 a.m. ET.
