Step 6: Document compliance

To prove your compliance with the regulations, you need to compile and consolidate the necessary documentation. The actions and documents carried out at each stage must be regularly reviewed and updated to ensure ongoing data protection.

Your application must include the following information:

Category	Documentation
DOCUMENTATION ON YOUR PERSONAL DATA PROCESSING	Record of processing activities (for data controllers) or categories of processing activities (for data processors)
DOCUMENTATION ON YOUR PERSONAL DATA PROCESSING	Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) for processing operations likely to generate high risks for the rights and freedoms of individuals.
DOCUMENTATION ON YOUR PERSONAL DATA PROCESSING	The framework for data transfers outside the European Union (in particular, standard contractual clauses, BCRs and certifications)
INFORMING PEOPLE	Information notices
INFORMING PEOPLE	Models for obtaining the consent of the persons concerned
INFORMING PEOPLE	Procedures for exercising rights
CONTRACTS THAT DEFINE THE ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF PLAYERS	Contracts with subcontractors
CONTRACTS THAT DEFINE THE ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF PLAYERS	Internal procedures in the event of a data breach
THE RIGHTS OF INDIVIDUALS AND THE EXERCISE OF THEIR RIGHTS	Proof that data subjects have given their consent when their data is processed on this basis.

If your documentation shows that you meet the obligations laid down by the European regulation, then you've passed this stage. Congratulations!
