GDPR

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a comprehensive privacy and security law enforced across the European Union (EU), designed to protect individuals’ personal data and ensure transparency in how businesses handle it. GDPR compliance is not only a legal obligation but also a significant trust-building element for organizations interacting with EU residents.

At Zarpra, we provide comprehensive GDPR compliance management services to help your organization understand, implement, and maintain the requirements of the regulation while protecting your customers’ personal data.
