This control addresses Cooperation and Consistency. > > — GDPR, Article Article 67 ### In plain English Establish a standardized electronic system for exchanging information between supervisory authorities and the Board, as specified by Commission implementing acts per Article 93(2), ensuring efficient and secure communication for GDPR compliance. In practice, this means you can prove you information board-level controls on a defined cadence. ## Why it matters GDPR administrative fines reach the greater of €20 million or 4% of global annual turnover. The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) coordinates supervisory-authority enforcement across the EU/EEA, and DPAs publish enforcement decisions citing specific Articles. ## What an auditor looks for A DPA or privacy auditor expects: a Records of Processing Activities (RoPA) entry, a documented lawful basis, evidence the Article's data-subject right is operationalised end-to-end, a named DPO contact (where required), and Article 30 records that match what the front-end actually does. Within **Chapter VII: Cooperation and Consistency**, the assessor will trace your implementation back to the catalogue reference (Article Article 67) and look for objective evidence on the latest two assessment cycles. ## How to implement #### Policy Management **Docs.** Keep each policy in version-controlled Markdown alongside the code that implements it; ship a signed PDF snapshot at each annual review and link the SHA into the SoA. ### Operational checklist - **Information.** Document the trigger, the owner and the cadence. - **Cooperation.** Document the trigger, the owner and the cadence. - **Communication.** Document the trigger, the owner and the cadence. - **Supervisory.** Document the trigger, the owner and the cadence. - **Consistency.** Document the trigger, the owner and the cadence. - **Scope:** board, article, information, commission. ## Evidence to collect - **Policy Document.** A signed and version-controlled policy / standard / procedure document. - **Infra Scan.** Continuous infrastructure-posture telemetry — AWS Config, Azure Policy compliance, GCP Organisation Policy, Wiz / Prisma findings. Signed policy or standard documents the safeguard. Focus: Exchange of information. ## Common pitfalls - Policies that no engineer has read; the version in Confluence drifts from the version that's actually being enforced. ## How it maps to other frameworks Computed from shared tags, control component and key-operation subjects — handy when you are reconciling controls across an audit. - [**ISO/IEC 27001:2022 A.5.13** — Labelling of information](https://support.icompaas.com/compliance/iso-27001-2022/a-5-13-labelling-of-information) - [**ISO/IEC 27701:2025 A.3.3** — Information security policies](https://support.icompaas.com/compliance/iso-27701-2025/a-3-3-information-security-policies) - [**SOC 2 (2017 TSC) C1.2** — Confidential Information Disposal](https://support.icompaas.com/compliance/soc-2-trust-services-criteria/c1-2-confidential-information-disposal) ## Related controls in GDPR - [**Article Article 69** — Independence](https://support.icompaas.com/compliance/gdpr/article-69-independence) - [**Article Article 63** — Consistency mechanism](https://support.icompaas.com/compliance/gdpr/article-63-consistency-mechanism) - [**Article Article 68** — European Data Protection Board](https://support.icompaas.com/compliance/gdpr/article-68-european-data-protection-board) - [**Article Article 66** — Urgency procedure](https://support.icompaas.com/compliance/gdpr/article-66-urgency-procedure) - [**Article Article 70** — Tasks of the Board](https://support.icompaas.com/compliance/gdpr/article-70-tasks-of-the-board) - [**Article Article 85** — Processing and freedom of expression and information](https://support.icompaas.com/compliance/gdpr/article-85-processing-and-freedom-of-expression-and-information) ## References - [European Union — GDPR](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2016/679/oj) - Catalogue identifier: `Article Article 67` Topics: governance riskpolicy management ## Related compliance guidance - [GDPR compliance: a practical implementation guide for cloud-native SaaS teams](https://support.icompaas.com/compliance/gdpr): Start with the full GDPR implementation guide — scope, roadmap, evidence and how the assessment runs. - [ISO/IEC 27001:2022 compliance: a practical implementation guide](https://support.icompaas.com/compliance/iso-27001-2022): The security management system most EU procurement teams ask for alongside a DPA; its controls supply much of the Article 32 evidence. - [India's DPDP Act 2023: a practical compliance guide for cloud teams](https://support.icompaas.com/compliance/india-dpdp-act-2023): If engineering or support teams sit in India, the same data flows are also subject to India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act.
