Companies already paid €2,720,000,000 in GDPR fines. It takes minute to get a detailed GDPR report and prevent GDPR fines.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the EU’s data protection law — self-assessed like India’s DPDP Act, with no formal certification required. Organizations must be compliant and prove it when challenged by regulators, data subjects, or auditors. Penalties are significant: up to €20 million or 4% of annual global turnover, with over €2.7 billion in fines already issued.
This document maps GDPR’s core requirements to the Databunker platform and shows how each one is addressed.

🛡️
Databunker DPO
Data subject requests, privacy operations & personal data reports
Art. 6 Compliance Developers
Lawfulness and Consent
Process personal data only with a valid legal basis — most commonly, explicit consent from the data subject.
Databunker Pro has built-in
consent management — store, track, and manage user consent with full audit history. Every consent change is recorded with a timestamp.
Art. 5(1)(b) Developers Compliance
Purpose Limitation
Collect data for specified, explicit, and legitimate purposes only. Do not process data in a manner incompatible with those purposes.
Databunker Pro provides detailed audit trails and logging to track and limit data use. Every API access is recorded with context — who accessed what, when, and why.
Art. 5(1)(c) Developers Compliance
Data Minimization
Collect only the data that is adequate, relevant, and limited to what is necessary for the purpose.
Databunker Pro offers automatic data expiration policies that delete personal records no longer in use, plus a
credit card deduplication API to avoid storing duplicate sensitive data.
Databunker Radar scans your databases and cloud storage to discover PII you didn't know you were keeping.
Art. 5(1)(e) Compliance Developers
Storage Limitation
Keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purpose. Delete or anonymize data when no longer needed.
Databunker Pro supports sliding and absolute TTLs — personal records are automatically deleted when they expire. No manual cleanup, no forgotten data.
Art. 5(1)(f) Security IT
Integrity and Confidentiality
Process personal data in a manner that ensures appropriate security, including protection against unauthorized access, loss, or destruction.
Databunker Pro acts as an encrypted vault — AES-256 per-record encryption at rest, SSL in transit, role-based access control, and
encryption key rotation. API-only access eliminates SQL/GraphQL injection risks.
Art. 5(2) Compliance Security
Accountability
Demonstrate compliance with GDPR principles through documentation and evidence.
Databunker Pro generates comprehensive audit logs for all operations — tracking access, modifications, and deletions. Databunker DPO generates personal data reports across all connected sources. Databunker Radar produces PDF/CSV compliance reports ready for auditors.
Art. 15 Compliance IT
Right of Access
Data subjects have the right to obtain confirmation of whether their data is being processed and access a copy of it.
Databunker Pro user privacy portal provides passwordless access (email/SMS one-time codes) for data subjects to view their data securely. Databunker DPO lets a DPO look up any data subject across all connected sources and generate a complete personal data report in one click.
Art. 16 Compliance IT
Right to Rectification
Data subjects can request correction of inaccurate personal data without undue delay.
Databunker Pro has a customer portal where users can update their personal records. Admin approval can be required before changes take effect. Full version history is maintained.
Art. 17 Compliance IT
Right to Erasure (Right to Be Forgotten)
Data subjects can request deletion of their personal data when it is no longer necessary for the purpose.
Databunker DPO executes deletion requests across connected sources with pre-deletion snapshots and rollback capability. Databunker Pro supports a single API call to delete all data for one user.
Art. 18 Compliance IT
Right to Restriction of Processing
Data subjects can request that their data processing be restricted under certain conditions.
Databunker Pro consent management allows organizations to limit data processing as requested by users, with a full audit trail of every change.
Art. 20 Compliance IT
Right to Data Portability
Data subjects can receive their data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
Databunker DPO generates comprehensive personal data reports by fetching data in real-time from all connected sources — ready for export in machine-readable format.
Art. 7(3) Compliance IT
Right to Withdraw Consent
Data subjects can withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawal must be as easy as giving consent.
Databunker Pro has built-in
consent management — users can withdraw consent, and the system records the change with a full audit trail.
Art. 32 Security IT
Security of Processing
Implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk — including encryption, pseudonymization, and access controls.
Art. 32 IT Security
Cloud Security Posture
Monitor cloud infrastructure for misconfigurations that could expose personal data.
Databunker Radar scans your AWS, Azure, and GCP accounts against 1000+ security checks — mapped to GDPR, SOC 2, HIPAA, ISO 27001, and PCI-DSS frameworks. Get a compliance score and actionable fixes.
Art. 32 Security IT
PII Discovery
Identify where personal data lives across your infrastructure — databases, cloud storage, and SaaS tools.
Databunker Radar detects PII, PHI, and PCI data across S3 buckets, DynamoDB tables, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQL Server databases. Databunker DPO connects to SaaS vendors (HubSpot, Salesforce, Mailchimp) to map personal data across your entire stack.
Art. 33 Compliance Security
Notification to Supervisory Authority
Notify the supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of a personal data breach.
Databunker Pro logs every access and modification, providing forensic data to identify breach scope and timeline. Databunker Radar continuously scans your cloud for misconfigurations that could lead to breaches — and alerts you via Slack, Jira, or email before they happen.
Art. 34 Compliance Security
Communication to Data Subject
When a breach is likely to result in high risk to individuals, communicate the breach to affected data subjects.
Databunker Pro audit trails provide forensic data for identifying affected individuals. Databunker DPO can generate reports on which data subjects were impacted by a breach.
Art. 25 Developers Compliance
Data Protection by Design and by Default
Implement appropriate technical measures designed to implement data protection principles both at the time of design and during processing.
Databunker Pro is built on privacy-by-design principles — tokenization replaces PII in your application database with safe tokens, encryption is applied per-record, and data minimization is automatic with TTL-based expiration.
Art. 35 Compliance Legal
Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA)
Conduct an assessment of the impact of processing operations on the protection of personal data when processing is likely to result in high risk.
Databunker DPO maintains compliance records needed for impact assessments — personal data reports, audit trails, and documentation of where data lives and how it's processed. Databunker Radar identifies risks across your cloud infrastructure.
Art. 37 Compliance Legal
Data Protection Officer (DPO)
Designate a DPO when core activities involve regular and systematic monitoring of data subjects on a large scale.
Databunker DPO serves as the operational tool for your Data Protection Officer — handling data subject requests, generating personal data reports, executing deletion requests with audit trails, and maintaining compliance records.
Art. 44–49 Compliance Legal
Cross-Border Data Transfer
Transfer personal data to third countries only when adequate safeguards are in place (adequacy decisions, SCCs, BCRs).
Databunker Pro can be deployed in any region or on-premises, enabling data residency compliance. The secure
bulk export API allows controlled data extraction with full audit logging for cross-border transfers.
The following GDPR requirements are organizational responsibilities that Databunker does not address directly:
Art. 13–14 Legal Compliance
Privacy Notice / Transparency
Provide clear, accessible information to data subjects about how their data is processed — identity of the controller, purposes, legal basis, retention periods, and rights. This requires legal drafting and publishing of privacy policies.
Art. 33 Compliance Legal
Breach Notification Process (72-hour deadline)
The organizational process of notifying the supervisory authority and affected individuals within 72 hours. Databunker provides the forensic data — but the notification process, communication templates, and regulatory filings are organizational responsibilities.
Art. 28 Legal Compliance
Data Processing Agreements (DPAs)
Establish contracts with data processors that set out the subject-matter, duration, nature, and purpose of processing. These are legal documents that require contractual negotiation.
HR Compliance
Employee Training
Train staff on data protection principles, security protocols, and GDPR obligations. This is an organizational responsibility that requires training programs and regular updates.
Conclusion
By adopting the Databunker platform — Databunker Pro for PII vault and tokenization, Databunker Radar for cloud security scanning and compliance monitoring, and Databunker DPO for privacy operations and data subject requests — organizations can address the majority of GDPR’s technical requirements with auditor-ready evidence. The remaining obligations (privacy notices, breach notification process, DPAs, and employee training) require organizational policies and legal counsel alongside the technical controls Databunker provides.
