Art. 30 · record of processing activitieskept current, not rebuilt once a year

Your RoPA,
built in minutes and
kept current.

When your business changes, your RoPA changes with it. Routine updates are handled automatically; anything requiring legal judgement comes to you.

None of these were sent to you. They were an invoice, a status page, a log line and a release note — and every one of them moved something in the register. What the assessment can settle on the record is settled; what turns on a legal call is held.

§ 2  Three minutes, not five weeks
Art. 30(1) · controller record

No register at all?
Three minutes, not five weeks.

A company that has never written an Article 30 register normally spends about five weeks on the first one: interviews with every team, a template nobody likes, and a document that is out of date by the last interview. Describe the business in three lines instead, and read the draft it writes.

§ 3  The problem this solves
and why registers stop being true

Your business changes.
Your RoPA keeps up.

Legiscope keeps routine information current, preserves the source behind every change, and brings decisions requiring legal judgement to you.

Annual review

Outdated as soon as the business changes.

A new supplier, purpose or retention rule appears. The RoPA waits for the next review—and stops reflecting the business in the meantime.

With LegiscopeNew information becomes a proposed update as it arrives. Routine changes are recorded; anything requiring legal judgement waits for your review.

The spreadsheet

An answer nobody can explain.

The register says “3 years,” but not where it came from, when it changed or who approved it. During an inspection, the answer alone is not enough.

With LegiscopeEvery entry keeps its source, date and review status, so the record can be verified and defended.

Unrecorded processing

The privacy team cannot record what it never sees.

New tools, suppliers and uses of personal data appear across the organisation without reaching the RoPA owner.

With LegiscopeWhen new processing appears in the information you provide or connect, Legiscope drafts the activity, completes what can be established and flags what still needs your input.
