GDPR: The 5 Most Common Compliance Mistakes SMEs Still Make in 2025

A Concerning Reality

Seven years after the GDPR came into force, many SMEs continue to operate without a clear roadmap.

1. No Record of Processing Activities

The RoPA is the cornerstone of any GDPR programme.

2. Inadequate Privacy Policy

It must be clear, complete and written in accessible language.

3. No DPA with Processors

A DPA is legally required for every processor.

4. Neglecting Data Subject Rights

Designate a privacy point of contact and train your teams.

5. No Breach Notification Procedure

72 hours to notify the DPA in case of a breach.
