What is a data protection audit?
A data protection audit is an examination of data protection practices within a company. Depending on the scope, it can involve assessing the current state compared to the desired state, thereby identifying areas for improvement.
Who conducts a data protection audit?
Data protection audits are conducted by data protection experts, either within the company's internal data protection department or as external data protection officers. In larger organizations, data protection audits may fall under the purview of internal auditing.
When is a data protection audit conducted?
Data protection audits can be triggered by specific events or conducted regularly. Triggered audits may assess the current state of data protection or ensure compliance with specific regulations for certifications. Regular audits evaluate the effectiveness of the data protection management system, aiming to identify areas for improvement.
What is the goal of a data protection audit?
The primary goal of a data protection audit is to provide transparency regarding the company's compliance with data protection regulations. It also involves prioritising identified improvement measures and implementing them accordingly.
What is an audit software?
An audit software is a tool that simplifies audit planning, execution, report generation, and tracking of identified actions. It aids auditors in managing the audit process more efficiently.
What is an audit finding?
An audit finding is a result or observation made during an audit, indicating non-compliance with specific audit criteria or guidelines. It may also be referred to as a deviation, deficiency, non-conformity, or discrepancy.
What are text modules, and what types of them exist?
Text modules are components used to build an audit questionnaire. They include predefined question types (e.g., multiple choice) and structural elements (e.g., headings, groupings).
What is an audit questionnaire?
An audit questionnaire is prepared prior to an audit and is used by auditors or examiners to ensure that all necessary information is gathered and relevant questions are answered. In caralegal, an audit questionnaire is initially designed and can be used for one or more audits.
What is skip logic?
Skip logic allows an audit questionnaire to adapt to a participant's responses. When a participant provides a specific answer, the questionnaire can automatically navigate (“skip”) to a different question or section based on that response.
What templates does caralegal offer?
We offer a range of audit templates that can be customised in the caralegal software to suit your needs. These include GDPR gap analysis, various quick checks for departments (HR, marketing, etc.), maturity assessments, and supplier evaluations. Our team is happy to discuss your specific requirements.
What audit methods does caralegal support?
In the caralegal audit software, we support two common audit methods:
Interviews: Auditors interview employees or responsible individuals within the audited company to gather information about processes, procedures, workflows, and other aspects relevant to the audit. The auditor can record answers and notes directly in caralegal.
Self-assessment: For this method, the audit questionnaire is sent to respondents, who independently complete it in caralegal. The auditor can then view the aggregated responses within the caralegal software.
What does the template editor offer?
The template editor allows auditors to create questionnaires using predefined text modules and skip logic. The editor provides numerous formatting options to create clear and consistent audit questionnaires.
