To audit GDPR and ePrivacy compliance before launch, you need to verify cookie consent mechanisms, legal page coverage, user rights implementation, and data handling controls across your system. This process identifies technical gaps in privacy disclosures and tracking scripts that could break regulatory obligations.

DFD analysis for data protection maps the flow of PII, PCI, and secrets across system boundaries to identify cross-border transfers and third-party processing. It is required for deep-dive compliance investigations when deploying to EU or UK users to ensure secure data handling.

Checking non-essential cookies and tracking scripts involves verifying that analytics and tracking mechanisms are gated behind informed user consent. A compliance audit evaluates your implementation to ensure no tracking scripts execute prior to explicit cookie consent.

GDPR compliance checking verifies user rights by inspecting your system for delete-account, delete-data, and data download capabilities. The audit confirms that related opt-out patterns are properly implemented to fulfill regulatory requirements for user data control.

To pass a GDPR compliance audit, a privacy policy must include data processing purposes, retention periods, third-party sharing details, and user rights information. The audit checks your legal pages to confirm all required content disclosures are present.

You can run a GDPR audit without a data flow document by using fallback grep discovery to identify PII and security data. While a DFD provides canonical analysis of third-party processors, the audit can still discover compliance gaps when the DFD is missing.
