Why does answering a RGPD questionnaire manually take time?

Too much information to collect

The RGPD concerns several teams: legal, IT, HR. So a lot of data needs to be gathered.

Precise details required

Questions often require exact answers: shelf life, dates, specific clauses…

Complex vocabulary

Concepts such as “legal basis” or “data minimization” are not always easy to explain.

Frequent repetition

The same questions come up again and again, for different partners or customers. This becomes tiresome and increases the risk of errors.

Legal consequences

The wrong answer may result in non-compliance, or even sanctions.
