How effective is the EDPB website auditing tool for checking GDPR compliance? - BH Consulting

The European Data Protection Board’s (EDPB) website auditing tool (WAT) is a valuable resource for organizations to assess their websites’ compliance with GDPR and ePrivacy Directive regulations. The tool effectively identifies potential privacy risks, such as improperly categorized cookies and unauthorized third-party data transfers, and provides insights into website practices to ensure transparency and lawful data processing. While it requires manual evaluation and does not offer automated fixes, the WAT is a user-friendly and cost-effective solution for privacy audits, especially for small businesses with limited compliance resources.
