Free GDPR self-assessment mapped to ISO/IEC 27701:2025

Seventy requirements that cover the GDPR from principles and accountability to breaches, transfers and special situations, each linked to the Annex A controls of the new standalone ISO/IEC 27701:2025.

By Claudio Restaino ·

70Requirements
14Areas
78ISO/IEC 27701 controls

What it covers

Principles and accountability, governance and DPO, records of processing, lawfulness and consent, transparency, data subject rights and automated decisions, privacy by design, processors and contracts, security of processing, breach management, DPIA, international transfers, special situations (employees, children, marketing, AI) and continual improvement. EDPB guidelines and the main CJEU judgments are referenced where they shape the requirement.

Regulatory status: Snapshot of 31 October 2026. ISO/IEC 27701:2025 was published on 14 October 2025 with a three-year transition; Regulation (EU) 2025/2518 on cross-border enforcement applies from 2 April 2027; the Digital Omnibus amendments to the GDPR are still a proposal and are flagged as such.

How it works

  • Profile: a few facts about the organisation and yes/no questions that exclude the requirements that do not apply.
  • Assessment: each requirement is scored on a maturity scale from 0 (not started) to 4 (fully compliant), with space for evidence, owner and target date.
  • Dashboard: compliance percentages by area, by legal source and by control group of the reference standard, plus P1/P2 priority gaps.
  • PDF report: summary, charts, prioritised action plan with guidance for every gap, control coverage map, regulatory dates and a five-phase roadmap.

Nothing is sent to our servers: the assessment runs entirely in the browser, and you can download a save file to resume later or share with colleagues. No account is needed.

Who it is for

Compliance, legal, IT security and risk functions, DPOs, CISOs, consultants and auditors who need a quick, structured picture of where an organisation stands before planning a compliance programme or a certification.

The assessment is part of the GoToCertify Compliance Self-Assessment Hub, which also offers free assessments for the EU AI Act, the GDPR, NIS2 and DORA.

Questions people ask

Which ISO/IEC 27701 edition is used?

The 2025 edition: Table A.1 (PII controllers), A.2 (PII processors) and A.3 (information security controls), plus clauses 4-10. All 78 controls are covered by at least one requirement.

Does it apply to processors as well as controllers?

Yes. The profile questions switch processor-only and controller-only requirements on or off, so the result reflects your actual role.

Are national rules included?

No. National specifics such as Article 88 labour rules, age thresholds or ePrivacy transposition are out of scope and noted as such.
