Good to know

Why does data protection documentation fail so often in practice?

Many companies know that data protection documentation is not optional—it is a legal requirement. Nevertheless, most struggle with the same problems every day:

  • Documentation managed via Excel lists and emails
  • No overview of which documents are current and complete
  • Missing evidence during audits—last-minute stress
  • No internal expertise on who needs to document what
  • Multiple companies, but no central repository

The result: gaps in documentation, liability risks, and unnecessary effort—even though there is a better way.

What is included in the data protection documentation?

Proliance 360 covers all the relevant documents you need for GDPR-compliant documentation:

Note

Every document goes through a transparent lifecycle – from drafting and review to final approval. Approved versions cannot be retroactively altered, preventing "compliance theater" such as backdated approvals in Word.
  1. Privacy Policies & Internal Guidelines
  2. Data Processing Agreements (DPAs)
  3. Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs)
  4. Data Breach Documentation
  1. Technical and organizational measures (TOMs)
  2. Privacy notices (Art. 13/14 GDPR)
  3. Data deletion policies
  4. Training records
Policy Center

Don't just write privacy policies – implement them with proof

A policy is only effective once your employees have read and accepted it. The Policy Center closes this gap: as soon as a policy is approved, employees receive a task in their personal inbox – read, confirm, done.

Every confirmation automatically generates a tamper-proof record with a timestamp and version number – audit-ready for GDPR compliance under Art. 32.

  • No more emails, Excel lists, or physical signature folders
  • Automatic re-signing process for every new policy version
  • Optional: AI-powered comprehension check available as an add-on

Testimonials

98% satisfaction: Over 3,000 companies have trusted Proliance since 2017

The new Record of Processing Activities (RoPA) 2.0 delivers exactly what we need in our day-to-day IT operations. The automated suggestions for legal bases are helpful, without restricting our own structuring or documentation. Particularly valuable is the ability to flexibly build out our own areas and processing activities.
alphaQuest is extremely satisfied with the collaboration. Their professional approach and deep expertise are truly impressive. This gives us confidence that our sensitive data is handled securely. This partnership provides us with peace of mind and the assurance that we can focus on our core business.
Proliance helped us take our company's data protection to the next level. The team's expertise and quick responsiveness supported us every step of the way. Highly recommended.
We were looking for a professional, comprehensive data privacy solution. With Proliance, we are in good hands and receive comprehensive advice!
We had individual documents and policies, but lacked a comprehensive strategy or regular risk analyses. That's why I sought a partner for a holistic solution – from GAP analysis to ongoing support. Today, we have constant access to expert knowledge and are well-prepared for future requirements like NIS2 or new AI regulations.
We were looking for a partner who could take tasks off our plate and genuinely support us with advice and practical help. When we ask a question, the Proliance experts quickly provide a clear, actionable answer. The GAP analysis was a valuable reality check. Not because we were in an uncertain position, but because it showed us where we could further refine our processes and documentation more strategically.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about compliance management software

Does the Docu Hub replace our existing documentation area?

The Docu Hub completely replaces the previous area and migrates documentation into a versioned, audit-proof system.

Is the Docu Hub suitable for ISMS?

Yes. It is the foundation of the ISMS software, Proliance InfoSec. Documents are reusable for controls and future ISMS modules.

Can existing files still be used?

Yes. Uploads (e.g., PDF, Word) are still possible. In addition, you can work directly in the editor and reference external sources with snapshots.

Why is central document management so important?

Because all compliance documents are in one place: versioned, with responsibilities and approvals. This reduces coordination, avoids duplicate work, and makes you audit-ready faster.

What's the advantage over Word/folders or SharePoint?

Word documents and folders do not provide audited workflows, a complete history, or reliable approvals. The Docu Hub offers versioning, roles (owner/reviewer), audit exports, and links to VVT, other software, and third parties – all fully traceable and audit-proof.

How does the Docu Hub help avoid redundancies?

Through central storage, structured categories, and the linking of documents with the record of processing activities and ISMS controls. This ensures a "Single Source of Truth" instead of duplicate maintenance.
