GDPR Compliance Is Continuous—Your Protection Should Be Too

Data protection isn't a one-time implementation project. Personal data flows through your systems constantly. Consent preferences change. Data subject requests arrive unexpectedly. Processing activities evolve. Yet most organizations manage GDPR compliance through periodic reviews and manual processes that can't keep pace with operational reality.

MAIA's GDPR Data Protection Agent delivers continuous, automated data protection compliance. Consent is validated in real-time. Data processing inventories update automatically. Data subject rights requests are fulfilled within regulatory deadlines without manual intervention. DPIAs are executed as processing activities change.

Not GDPR software requiring constant human management—AI that understands data protection requirements, monitors your data processing continuously, and ensures regulatory compliance autonomously.

Core Capabilities

Automated Consent Management

Track, validate, and enforce consent across all data processing activities. The agent monitors consent status in real-time, flags expired or invalid consent, and prevents processing where legal basis is insufficient.

Data Subject Rights Automation

Fulfill access, erasure, portability, and rectification requests automatically. The agent locates relevant personal data across systems, verifies requester identity, and executes requests within GDPR deadlines.

Continuous DPIA Execution

Automated Data Protection Impact Assessments for new and changing processing activities. The agent identifies when DPIAs are required, executes assessments, and recommends risk mitigation measures.

Records of Processing Activities (ROPA)

Maintain current, comprehensive processing activity records automatically. The agent discovers data processing across your systems, documents purposes and legal bases, and keeps ROPA documentation audit-ready.

Data Minimization Enforcement

Identify and eliminate unnecessary personal data collection and retention. The agent analyzes processing purposes, flags excessive data collection, and recommends minimization strategies.

Breach Detection & Notification

Detect potential data breaches, assess notification requirements, and prepare regulatory notifications. The agent monitors for unauthorized access, evaluates breach severity, and initiates appropriate response procedures.

Data Protection by Design (Article 25)

Integrate privacy requirements into data processing operations from inception. The agent evaluates new systems for GDPR compliance and recommends privacy-enhancing measures.

Data Protection Impact Assessments (Article 35)

Automated DPIA execution for high-risk processing. The agent identifies when DPIAs are required, conducts assessments, and tracks mitigation implementation.

Records of Processing Activities (Article 30)

Comprehensive, current ROPA documentation maintained automatically. The agent discovers processing activities, documents purposes and legal bases, and keeps records audit-ready.

Security of Processing (Article 32)

Monitor technical and organizational security measures for personal data. The agent assesses security controls, identifies vulnerabilities, and recommends improvements.

Data Breach Notification (Articles 33-34)

Detect breaches, assess notification requirements, and prepare regulatory communications. The agent evaluates breach severity and initiates appropriate notification procedures within 72 hours.

Configured for Malta's Data Protection Framework

Malta implements GDPR through the Data Protection Act and regulations enforced by the Information and Data Protection Commissioner (IDPC). The GDPR Data Protection Agent is specifically configured for Malta-based operations including:

IDPC compliance requirements including data protection officer obligations and supervisory authority cooperation
Malta Data Protection Act provisions that supplement GDPR requirements with national specificities
Cross-border data transfer mechanisms for Malta entities processing data across EU and international jurisdictions
Sector-specific requirements for iGaming, financial services, and healthcare sectors operating under Malta licensing
Multi-language compliance supporting Maltese, English, and Italian data subject communications

When a data subject submits an access request, the agent doesn't create work for your team—it locates the requester's personal data across your systems, verifies identity according to IDPC guidance, compiles the information in required formats, and delivers the response within the one-month deadline. Your team reviews and approves; the agent handles execution.

Common GDPR Automation Scenarios

The GDPR Data Protection Agent handles data protection requirements that traditionally consume significant compliance resources:
