ECOMPLY
Smart GDPR compliance software for data protection officers and privacy teams
About ECOMPLY
ECOMPLY is a cloud-based Data Protection Management System (DPMS) that helps organizations achieve and maintain compliance with GDPR, LGPD, PDPA, and other global privacy regulations. It replaces error-prone spreadsheets with a structured, collaborative platform where DPOs, privacy teams, and external consultants can manage all compliance activities in one place. The platform's core is the Records of Processing Activities (RoPA) — an interactive, filterable database that auto-generates legally required documentation. ECOMPLY guides users through compliance tasks with smart forms, assistance texts, and logical connections between data assets. It covers the full compliance lifecycle: mapping data flows, conducting audits and DPIAs, managing vendor contracts, handling data subject requests, and documenting incidents. Hosted in an ISO 27001-certified data center in Frankfurt, Germany, ECOMPLY serves freelance DPOs, law firms, IT security consultants, and enterprise privacy teams across Europe and internationally. Its Partner/Group plan is specifically designed for consultancies managing multiple client organizations from a single dashboard.
