CERTIFICATION · QG-GDPR

Shufti’s GDPR compliance was independently tested not self-declared

QG-GDPR Fundamentals is a third-party certification issued by QG Business Solutions, a UK-based accreditation and certification body. It is distinct from GDPR regulatory compliance: it is an independent audit that validates how an organisation's internal GDPR processes, data handling procedures, and risk controls actually operate. Shufti holds QG-GDPR Fundamentals certification.

What QG-GDPR Is

There is a difference between regulatory GDPR compliance, what organisations are legally required to do, and independent certification of how well those compliance processes actually work. QG Business Solutions bridges that gap by independently assessing and certifying an organisation's GDPR posture.

GDPR Regulatory Compliance

The legal obligations: a lawful basis for processing, an Article 28-compliant DPA, data minimisation, deletion workflows, and data subject rights support. What Shufti must do, and does, as a data processor under EU and UK law. Documented in contracts and technical controls.

QG-GDPR Certification

What QG Business Solutions independently assessed: how Shufti's internal GDPR processes actually operate, whether data processing documentation is complete and enforceable, whether risk assessment procedures are robust, and whether technical measures to prevent data breaches are implemented. An external auditor confirms the system works as documented.

Why It Matters

A vendor who self-declares GDPR compliance has no external validation of that claim. They may have a privacy policy, a DPA template, and a deletion procedure, but whether those processes actually function as documented is untested. QG-GDPR certification means a third party has tested ours.

For procurement and legal teams evaluating verification vendors

QG-GDPR certification provides a layer of assurance beyond contractual promises. It confirms that Shufti's GDPR compliance infrastructure has been independently reviewed and meets an audited standard, reducing the due diligence burden on your team.
