DPAflow

About

Built for the teams that own GDPR vendor accountability

DPAFlow exists because vendor and subprocessor lists move faster than most compliance programs. We help the people who are accountable for that movement keep up — with evidence, not guesswork.

Why DPAFlow exists

GDPR Article 28 is built on a simple idea: a controller is accountable for every processor and sub-processor handling personal data on its behalf. In practice, that accountability lives in scattered DPAs, vendor pages, and screenshots — until an auditor asks for the trail.

DPAFlow turns vendor and subprocessor monitoring into a continuous workflow. We watch the sources you cannot reasonably check every week, detect the changes that matter, and preserve a defensible evidence record. The privacy team gets to do privacy work — not URL surveillance.

Headquartered in the EU

Built for the regulatory environment we operate in. Engineering and customer data stay within the EU region.

Independent & founder-led

We are not a marketing layer on top of someone else's compliance tool. We own the monitoring engine end-to-end.

How we operate

Evidence over alerts

Every detected change becomes a date-stamped, exportable evidence record — not just a notification that disappears in a Slack channel.

EU-first by default

Hosting, storage, and processing stay within the EU. Region matters for the customers we serve, so it is not a configuration option.

Boring on purpose

Compliance teams don't need another dashboard with confetti. We optimise for trust, clarity, and audit-readiness over novelty.

Practical, not theoretical

We surface the vendor and subprocessor changes that actually drive Article 28 work — additions, geography shifts, DPA changes — and leave the rest alone.

Who DPAFlow helps

Data Protection Officers

Maintain a live picture of every vendor's subprocessor list and produce evidence on demand.

Legal & privacy counsel

Track DPA changes and processor footprints without inheriting another spreadsheet to babysit.

Security & IT

Catch new third parties handling customer data before procurement or risk review is bypassed.

Compliance operations

Run vendor review cycles against a real timeline instead of reconstructing one from email threads.

Trust posture

DPAFlow is monitoring software. It produces evidence records that compliance and legal teams use as inputs to their own review process. It does not provide legal advice, and detected changes do not constitute a legal finding. Final review of DPAs, Article 28 obligations, and transfer mechanisms remains with qualified counsel inside your organisation.
