GDPR compliance should not require a law degree
Most GDPR platforms assume you already know what a “record of processing activities” is, or that you can tell a legitimate interest from a consent obligation. That is a problem when you are a bakery owner, a physiotherapist, or a web designer who simply wants to comply with the rules.
GDPRWise was built specifically for business owners who have zero prior knowledge of privacy law. The platform handles the legal complexity for you, so you can focus on running your business.
How the AI scan removes the guesswork
The first step is entering your website URL. Within two minutes, the GDPRWise scanner analyses your site and detects:
- Cookies and storage - which cookies are placed and whether they are functional, analytical, or tracking
- Third-party scripts - tools like Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or chat widgets that process visitor data
- Forms and data collection - contact forms, newsletter sign-ups, and booking forms
- Trackers and pixels - invisible tracking elements you may not even know about
The scan also detects your sector automatically. A dental practice gets different default processing activities than an online shop, because the types of personal data you handle are fundamentally different.
This means you do not have to figure out which processing activities apply to your business. The platform already knows, and it presents a tailored starting point based on what it found.
Three layers that build your dossier
GDPRWise uses a three-layer model to create your complete GDPR dossier:
Layer 1: Sector foundation
Every industry has common processing activities. A hairdresser keeps appointment books and customer preferences. An accountant handles financial data for clients. A recruitment agency processes CVs and references.
GDPRWise has pre-built sector dossiers that cover these common activities. When the scan detects your sector, the platform loads the relevant foundation automatically. You start with a dossier that is already 60 to 70 percent complete, not a blank page.
Layer 2: AI scan results
The website scan adds specifics that are unique to your situation. Maybe you use Mailchimp for newsletters, or your site loads a Google Maps embed on the contact page. These findings are layered on top of the sector foundation, creating a dossier that reflects your actual setup.
Layer 3: Guided refinement
The final layer is where you come in. But instead of being asked legal questions like “What is your legal basis for processing?”, the platform asks business questions:
- Do you have employees?
- Do you use CCTV cameras at your premises?
- Do you send marketing emails to customers?
These are questions any business owner can answer. GDPRWise translates your answers into the correct legal documentation behind the scenes.
Confidence labels: know exactly where you stand
One of the biggest frustrations with other GDPR tools is uncertainty. You fill in a form and you are never sure if you did it correctly.
GDPRWise solves this with confidence labels on every item in your dossier:
Detected means the platform found this through the scan and is confident it is correct. For example, if the scan detected Google Analytics on your website, the corresponding processing activity is marked as Detected. You do not need to do anything.
Needs review means the platform suspects something may apply but needs your confirmation. For example, if you selected “healthcare” as your sector, the platform might flag “processing of medical records” as Needs review, because it cannot verify this from a website scan alone.
This two-tier system means you spend your time only on items that actually need your attention. Everything else is already handled.
Plain language throughout
Every screen, every question, and every generated document in GDPRWise uses plain language. The platform avoids legal jargon wherever possible, and where a legal term is unavoidable, it includes a short explanation.
Your privacy policy is generated in language your customers can actually understand. Your processing register uses clear descriptions instead of abstract legal categories. Even the action recommendations use everyday words.
This is not just a design choice. The GDPR itself requires that privacy information is provided in “clear and plain language.” GDPRWise takes that principle seriously, both for the documents it generates and for the platform you use to create them.
Complete in a single session
Traditional GDPR compliance projects stretch across weeks or months. You schedule meetings with a consultant, exchange emails, wait for drafts, and review documents you barely understand.
With GDPRWise, the typical workflow looks like this:
- Run the scan - 2 minutes
- Review the scan results - 10 to 15 minutes
- Answer the guided questions - 30 to 60 minutes
- Review your completed dossier - 15 to 30 minutes
Most business owners finish everything in a single session. Your complete dossier, including the processing register, privacy policy, cookie report, and action list, is ready to use immediately.
Staff privacy policy included
Many business owners do not realise that GDPR compliance includes informing your own employees about how you process their data. This requires a separate privacy policy for staff, covering topics like payroll processing, CCTV, and HR files.
GDPRWise is one of the few platforms that includes an employee privacy policy as a standard part of the dossier. During the guided refinement, the platform asks about your HR processes and automatically generates the document. No extra cost, no extra effort.
No technical setup required
There is nothing to install, configure, or integrate. GDPRWise is a web-based platform. You enter your website URL and start working on your dossier immediately. The scan runs externally, so it does not affect your website in any way.
You do not need to ask your web developer for access or install a plugin. Everything happens through the GDPRWise platform itself.
Keep it up to date effortlessly
GDPR compliance is not a one-time task. Your website changes, you add new tools, you hire staff. With the Peace of Mind subscription, GDPRWise rescans your website periodically, compares results with your existing dossier, and flags any changes.
Did a new tracking script appear on your site? The platform will notify you. Did you remove a form? The corresponding processing activity is flagged for review.
This means your dossier stays current without you having to remember to check it manually.
Enter your website URL and get your first scan results within 2 minutes. No account, no credit card, no technical setup.
