**Data governance, risk and compliance consultancy, DQM GRC, has launched a free
online GDPR Self-Assessment Tool.**

 

[DQM GRC’s tool](http://www.dqmgrc.com/gdpr-self-assessment), a 12 question multiple-
choice assessment evaluates an organisation’s current data compliance levels and
compares them to the obligations in the new regulation.

A free, downloadable report is then generated, giving the organisation an overall
GDPR readiness score out of 100. It breaks down each individual response to highlight
the organisation’s strengths and weaknesses, and gives practical advice on the next
steps the organisation should take to ensure compliance. The tool also explains 
what the GDPR specifically states about each element of the assessment.

 

The assessment can be taken as often as necessary to test compliance levels while
changes are made, and aims to help firms save on investing in areas that might not
require improvement, and focus their attention on the sections which do.

 

Peter Galdies, development director at DQM GRC said:
