For example, type, volume or size of your personal information that an organisation tackle has an impact on the cost of a GDPR audit. The GDPR audit process consists of different steps and phases. Every single level has its own cost and requires time and effort accordingly such as data discovery, customer privacy notification, GDPR staff training etc.
