Tech Compliance Self-Assessment Framework

A tech compliance self-assessment framework helps organizations measure maturity and set priorities. The five main dimensions: data protection (PDPL), cybersecurity (NCA ECC), contracts and outsourcing, intellectual property, and cloud computing (CST, CCC).

Scoring methodology: each dimension is broken into sub-criteria. Each criterion is scored on a 1–5 scale: 1 = not present, 2 = planned, 3 = partial, 4 = implemented, 5 = reviewed and optimized. The overall score gives a picture of current level.

Data protection: processing activity records, updated privacy policy, appointed DPO, mechanisms for data subject requests, processing agreements with vendors, employee training.

Systematic self-assessment reveals gaps before a regulator does — prioritization goes to the highest impact and likelihood risks.

Cybersecurity: ECC control implementation, incident response plan, periodic risk assessment, third-party management, security awareness training.

Contracts and outsourcing: contract templates with data protection and IP clauses, vendor due diligence process, audit rights, exit documentation.

Gap identification: comparison of current state and target. Critical gaps — unmet mandatory requirements — are addressed first. Moderate gaps — recommended improvements — are included in the roadmap.

Reporting to leadership: executive summary showing overall level, key gaps, and proposed plan. Annual repetition is recommended with quarterly updates when major regulatory changes occur.
