For GDPR programs

GDPR compliance, made boring.

Continuous monitoring for the security controls GDPR actually asks for, mapped to Articles 25 and 32. Audit-ready exports your DPO can hand to a regulator without a phone call.

What GDPR expects

The security obligations, in plain English.

Article 25

Data protection by design

Continuous checks on the controls that protect personal data by default: TLS posture, security headers, cookie scopes, and exposed endpoints that bypass intended boundaries.
Article 32

Security of processing

Evidence that the technical measures you claim are actually in place. Encryption in transit, hardened auth surfaces, and monitoring of drift across deploys.
Article 33

Breach detection signal

Real-time alerts on newly exposed services, regressed TLS, and changes in your public attack surface, so the 72-hour notification clock starts when it should.
How Barrion helps

Continuous evidence, without the spreadsheet.

Monitoring

GDPR-aligned continuous scans

Production-safe DAST that runs on your live app on a cadence you set. It won't submit forms or hit state-changing routes, so you can point it at prod and forget about it.
Findings

Data-protection vulnerability detection

Ranked findings with plain-language explanations and the exact remediation steps for your framework. Hand them to the engineer who owns the surface.
Evidence

Audit-ready exports

PDF and CSV exports that map findings to GDPR controls. Attach them to your record of processing activities or to your next vendor security review.
Alerts

Real-time regression alerts

When a control you previously passed starts failing, you hear about it the same day. Useful for the 72-hour notification window and for not surprising your DPO.
How it fits your program

A cadence your DPO, can actually defend.

GDPR doesn't prescribe a scanner. It asks for "appropriate technical measures" and the ability to demonstrate them. Barrion turns that into a weekly or daily rhythm: production-safe scans run on schedule, findings get mapped to the GDPR control they relate to, and every scan leaves a dated artifact behind.

That means when an auditor or a customer's security team asks how you monitor for security regressions, you don't write a paragraph, you send a PDF. And when something does regress, you find out the same day instead of during a breach review.

  • ✓Scan cadence you can defend (weekly on Essential, daily on Business)
  • ✓Findings mapped to GDPR Articles 25, 32, and 33
  • ✓Dated PDF and CSV exports for your evidence pack
  • ✓Production-safe by default, no impact on live users
  • ✓Same-day alerts when a previously-passing control starts failing

FAQ

GDPR monitoring, answered.

What's actually in scope here, just the website or our backend too?
Anything reachable over HTTP that processes personal data. That includes your marketing site, the app shell, public APIs, login flows, and any subdomains you add. Barrion monitors what an attacker would see from the outside, which is the same surface GDPR Article 32 cares about. Internal-only systems behind a VPN are out of scope for this product.
Will the exports actually hold up in an audit?
The PDF and CSV exports include scan timestamps, the finding, the affected URL, the remediation taken, and the GDPR article we mapped the control to. Most auditors and DPOs want evidence that you monitor continuously and act on findings. The exports give them both, with dates. They are not a substitute for your record of processing activities or your DPIA, but they slot into the evidence pack cleanly.
How often do scans run, and can we change that?
Essential plans run weekly continuous scans, Business plans run daily. You can also trigger an on-demand scan from the dashboard at any time, which is what most teams do after a meaningful deploy. Every scan produces a new dated record, so your evidence trail accumulates without you having to remember anything.
Is it safe to run this against production?
Yes, that's the default mode. Scans are read-only: they don't submit forms, don't authenticate as users, and don't touch state-changing routes. If you want deeper authenticated coverage you can opt into it per target, but the GDPR-relevant checks (TLS, headers, cookies, DNS, exposure) all run safely against the live app.
Recommended tools for GDPR
