Law 25 coverage

You started Law 25
without knowing if you covered everything?

Conformaze maps every Law 25 obligation, article by article. For each one: what the law requires, the feature that covers it, and the proof produced — all in one place, so nothing slips between two Excel files.

The cost of dispersion

Why tracking Law 25 in Excel/SharePoint lets obligations slip — even with a serious team.

Silos by person

Each team keeps its share — legal, IT, HR, operations. The day the regulator or a client asks for a complete view, you chase scattered files.

No decision-to-proof link

You approved an activity, signed a DPA, validated a PIA. Reconstructing the chain six months later is archaeology.

No review reminders

A policy adopted in 2023, a processor added last year, a transfer left open — nothing warns you it needs reviewing.

No consolidated view

When leadership or the regulator asks 'where are we on Law 25?', no one can answer in five minutes with a reliable number.

The gain of centralizing in Conformaze

Everything Law 25-related — decisions, proof, deadlines — in one place, linked and traced.

One source of truth

All your Law 25 obligations — register, PIA, DPAs, transfers, DSARs, incidents — in one place, linked to each other.

Automatic traceability

Every creation, change and approval is timestamped and attributed. Proof builds itself as your team works.

Per-article progress

See what is covered, what is in progress, what is missing — by obligation and by owner.

A file ready to present

A consolidated, signed and defensible export. For the regulator, for leadership, for a client demanding compliance proof.

Article by article
