Who the service is for compliance and GDPR

Not every business needs compliance and GDPR support. However, if you operate internationally or plan to provide services in the EU, it is best to prepare the necessary documentation before working with partners or clients.

You are opening a company in the EU or another international jurisdiction

You want to build the business in line with local requirements from the outset and avoid revising documents after the first checks.

Your clients or partners are based in the European Union

When entering into agreements or connecting services, you are asked to provide a Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Data Processing Agreement or other documents.

You are developing an IT product or SaaS service

Your website or application collects users’ personal data, so its processing and storage must be organised correctly.

You operate in e-commerce or on marketplaces

You process orders, use a CRM, email marketing and advertising accounts, and must comply with personal data requirements.

You already have a foreign company

The documentation needs to be brought into line with current requirements or the requirements of a bank, payment provider or corporate client must be met.

You want to work with large international companies

Many clients conduct compliance checks before work begins, so having the documents prepared is often a prerequisite for signing a contract.

Your business operates exclusively in Ukraine

You do not interact with clients, companies or contractors from other countries and do not plan to enter the international market in the near future.

You do not collect any personal data

You do not have a website, CRM, online form, client database or other tools that process user information.

You only need a document template from the internet

Generic policies do not reflect the circumstances of a specific company and often do not match its actual business processes.

You expect one document to be sufficient

Compliance is not limited to documents; it also requires properly organised internal processes.

You need an audit of sanctions already imposed or legal representation

In that case, separate legal support is required based on the specific circumstances.

You do not plan to implement the recommended changes

Prepared documents are effective only when they reflect the company’s actual business processes.

What is compliance and GDPR?

Compliance

A system of internal rules, procedures and documents that helps a company operate in accordance with legal, contractual and corporate requirements. Compliance may include policies on personal data protection, anti-corruption, risk management, internal controls and interactions with employees and counterparties. Banks, investors and international partners often require such procedures.

GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)

This European Union regulation on personal data protection has applied since 2018. Its requirements cover not only companies registered in the EU, but also businesses from other countries if they work with individuals located in the European Union, sell goods or services to them, or collect their personal data through a website or mobile application. This is why Ukrainian companies operating internationally increasingly need to comply with GDPR.

What is included in support for compliance and GDPR

4 steps from the first enquiry to implementing compliance and GDPR

1

Introduction and business analysis

During the initial consultation, we study your company's operating model, country of registration, website, the services you use and how personal data is processed. At this stage, it becomes clear which requirements apply to your business and what scope of work is required.

2

Document preparation

After the analysis, the KRYNO team will draw up a list of required documents and develop them to reflect your business processes. You receive documentation tailored to your company's activities and jurisdiction.

3

Approval and implementation

We review the prepared documents together, answer your questions and explain how each document should be used. Where necessary, we provide recommendations on website settings, user consent forms and the company's internal procedures.

4

Completion and ongoing support

After implementation, you receive a complete document package and recommendations on its future use. If your business or the law changes, the KRYNO team will help update the documents promptly and adapt them to the new requirements.

How much does compliance and GDPR support cost

The cost depends on the nature of the business, the company’s country of registration, the number of websites or digital products that need to be reviewed and the volume of documentation to be prepared.

The fee may include an analysis of the company’s activities, an audit of personal data processing, development of policies and agreements, implementation advice, recommendations for the website and business processes, and support while the documents are being approved.

Additional documents, adaptation of existing policies, legal analysis of non-standard situations, support in negotiations with partners or banks, and subsequent updates following changes in legislation or the company’s activities may be agreed separately.

After a brief consultation, the KRYNO team will calculate the cost for your specific situation.

Documents required for implementing compliance and GDPR

To begin, we usually need the company’s corporate documents, information about the business structure, the website or digital product, a description of personal data processing, a list of services used to work with clients, and examples of agreements or internal policies if these already exist. If anything is missing, we will explain what needs to be prepared and help assemble a complete package for the next stage.

Frequently Asked Questions about compliance and GDPR

What happens if GDPR requirements are not implemented?

If GDPR applies to your business, ignoring its requirements may create problems when working with European clients, banks or payment providers. The Regulation also provides for fines of up to €20 million or 4% of a company's annual worldwide turnover, whichever is higher. In practice, most Ukrainian companies encounter not fines but refusals to cooperate because the required documentation is missing. If you are unsure whether GDPR applies to your activities, the KRYNO team will help determine this during a consultation.

Are compliance and GDPR required if the company is not yet operating or has no clients?

If you are just opening a company or preparing to enter the international market, it is best to implement the required documents before active operations begin. This avoids urgent revisions when signing the first contract or undergoing a check by a bank or partner.

How long does it take to implement compliance and GDPR?

The timeframe depends on the complexity of the business, the number of websites or digital products and the volume of required documentation. Preparation takes 5 to 15 business days for most companies, but the process may take longer for large international structures. After analysing your situation, we can provide an estimated completion date.

Can I do everything myself?

In theory, yes. Many policy and agreement templates are publicly available. However, they rarely reflect the specific business, country of registration, methods of processing personal data and partner requirements. Companies therefore often have to revise their documents after the first check. KRYNO helps prepare documentation that reflects your actual business processes.

If the company is registered abroad, does anything need to be arranged in Ukraine?

Compliance and GDPR govern the company's activities independently of Ukrainian law. At the same time, owners of foreign companies may have separate obligations in Ukraine, including a CFC notification or filing a CFC reportIf both issues arise at the same time, the KRYNO team can arrange comprehensive support.

Does GDPR apply to Ukrainian companies?

Yes, in many cases. If you offer goods or services to people in the EU, analyse their behaviour on your website or process the personal data of users from European Union countries, GDPR may apply regardless of where your company is registered.

Which documents are most commonly required for GDPR compliance?

The list depends on the company's activities. It most often includes a Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Data Processing Agreement (DPA), Terms of Service, personal data processing policies, internal employee procedures and other documents confirming the business's GDPR compliance.

Does the documentation need to be updated after it has been prepared?

Yes. If legal requirements, business processes, the website or the services used by the company change, the documentation must also be reviewed. Regular updates keep it current and prevent documents from ceasing to reflect the business's actual operations.

Do not postpone implementing compliance until the first check

Most companies seek compliance and GDPR support only when a bank, payment provider or international partner requires it. By then, there is often too little time to revise the documents, and a delay may postpone signing a contract or opening an account.

During a 30-minute consultation, the KRYNO team will analyse your business, determine which requirements apply to your company, explain which documents are needed and provide guidance on the timeframe and cost. After the consultation, you will have a clear action plan and understand where to begin.
