Datatilsynet GDPR Processor Audit Questionnaire

Streamline Your GDPR Processor Audits with Paperform

Conducting thorough due diligence on data processors is a critical requirement under the GDPR, and Norway's Datatilsynet (Data Protection Authority) expects data controllers to maintain comprehensive documentation of processor assessments. This Datatilsynet GDPR Processor Audit Questionnaire template provides Norwegian businesses, legal departments, and compliance teams with a structured, professional framework for evaluating third-party data processors.

Whether you're a Norwegian enterprise working with international cloud providers, a municipal authority vetting software vendors, or a healthcare organization assessing medical record processors, this template helps you collect essential compliance information efficiently. The questionnaire covers security certifications (ISO 27001, SOC 2, etc.), incident history, data processing practices, sub-processor arrangements, and formal compliance attestations—all critical elements for demonstrating accountability under Articles 28 and 32 of the GDPR.

Built for Norwegian compliance workflows

This template is designed specifically for organizations operating under Norwegian data protection law and reporting to Datatilsynet. It accommodates Norwegian business identifiers (organisasjonsnummer) and references to D-nummer for relevant personnel documentation. The questionnaire structure aligns with Datatilsynet's expectations for processor due diligence and can be used as supporting documentation for data protection impact assessments (DPIAs) or in response to regulatory inquiries.

Automate your compliance documentation with Paperform and Stepper

Paperform makes it easy to collect processor audit responses in a branded, professional format. Responses are automatically organized, and you can require file uploads for security certifications, insurance documents, and signed attestations. Use conditional logic to ask follow-up questions based on previous answers—for example, requesting detailed incident reports only when a processor discloses a previous breach.

Take it further with Stepper (stepper.io), Paperform's AI-native workflow automation platform. Automatically route high-risk processor assessments to your legal team for review, trigger follow-up tasks in your project management tools, update compliance tracking spreadsheets, or send completed audit packages to stakeholders via email or document management systems.
