Regulator Readiness

Your home screen is one card per regulator you answer to, with the gaps an inspector would find first.

  • Programme readiness: evidenced tasks against required tasks, weighted by importance
  • Operational health: live work closed on time, kept separate so handling more requests never lowers your score
  • Readiness drops when evidence expires, so the number stays honest between audits

See

Today

One queue for all compliance work, ordered by what is overdue, what has a legal clock and what is due this week.

  • Add evidence and finish work without leaving the queue
  • Reviewers see what is waiting for them first

Record

Data Map and record of processing

Systems, vendors, data elements and processing activities, recorded once and linked. Your record of processing is a view of the map, not a separate spreadsheet.

  • Sensitive data raises a DPIA; legitimate interests raises an LIA
  • Systems or vendors abroad raise transfer safeguards; processors without a contract raise a DPA
  • Export the record of processing as CSV or in the Inspection Pack

Respond

Rights requests and the Data Subject Portal

A public page where people ask to see, correct or delete their data, with a private link to follow progress. Requests by WhatsApp, phone or in person run on the same clock.

  • Deadlines follow the law of the entity's country
  • Identity must be verified before data is released
  • The response is stored as evidence; consent withdrawals update the consent ledger

Respond

Incidents and breaches

A breach register with a live clock from the moment the organisation became aware.

  • Advisory recommendation on whether to notify, with the reasons
  • The DPO records the decision and rationale, which is what an inspector reads
  • Notifying the regulator raises its own task until the acknowledgement is recorded

Assess

DPIAs, LIAs and transfer assessments

Structured assessments with a likelihood-and-severity risk matrix, started from the task that asked for them and pre-filled from the Data Map.

  • Approval locks the assessment and evidences the task
  • Separation of duties is recorded when a preparer also approves

Assess

Vendors and the Vendor Portal

Send a processor a single-use link. They answer ten due-diligence questions without an account; you review and set their risk.

  • Missing breach-notice or DPA commitments make a vendor high risk regardless of score
  • Systems they host inherit their transfer obligations

Govern

Policies

Templates for the policies regulators ask for, versioned and hashed. Approving a version seals it and evidences the tasks it satisfies.

  • See exactly which version was in force on any date

Govern

Training

A course builder and library, quizzes marked on the server, and points, levels and badges that keep people coming back. Staff who only need training see nothing else.

  • Certificates with a QR code anyone can verify
  • Mandatory courses assigned to new joiners and renewed each year
  • Completion, overdue learners and knowledge gaps per person

Prove

The Inspection Pack

Everything an inspector asks for, in one document, as it stood on the date you choose.

  • Controls with their evidence index and hashes
  • Record of processing, processors and transfers
  • Rights-request log, breach register, approved assessments and training record
  • A fingerprint of the pack and the audit trail's head hash at that date

Prove

Audit trail

Every action is attributable and hash-chained to the one before, and the chain is verified in the app.

  • Evidence files are stored by their SHA-256 hash and can't be swapped after upload

We set hlola up for your country before the call, so you see your own readiness, not a sales deck.
