Meet GDPR requirements so seamlessly, your team won't even notice they've lost admin privileges

How Admin By Request Helps with GDPR Compliance

Notice and Transparency

Admin By Request provides detailed, timestamped logs of all privileged activity across systems.

These audit logs can be used to  clearly document how data is accessed and by whom, supporting transparency in internal data handling and parental disclosure requirements.

The platform’s reporting tools make it easier to produce records for privacy notices or compliance reviews.

Parental Consent and Control

While Admin By Request doesn’t directly handle user consent workflows, it ensures that only authorized personnel can access systems or services that collect or manage children’s personal data.

By requiring approval workflows for elevated access, it prevents unauthorized changes that could inadvertently bypass parental consent mechanisms or compromise user controls.

Data Collection Limitations

By enforcing least privilege access, Admin By Request helps organizations limit who can collect, access, or configure systems to collect personal data from children.

This reduces the risk of excessive or unnecessary data collection through misconfiguration systems or rogue administrative activity.

Data Security and Retention

Safeguard children’s data by preventing persistent administrator access and reducing the risk of data exfiltration and just-in-time access ensures that sensitive systems remain locked down unless explicitly needed, supporting stronger access control and data retention discipline.

It also assists in meeting the FTC’s expectation for “reasonable procedures” to protect kids’ data.

Compliance and Accountability

Admin By Request provides automated reporting, audit trails, session recordings, and real-time alerts, offering verifiable evidence of internal access policies and enforcement.

This  accountability framework strengthens an organization’s ability to demonstrate compliance during audits or investigations, especially in cases involving third-party data processors or internal privacy governance.

Reporting Capabilities

The audit and reporting tools allow you to extract anything in real-time, such as a graphical representation of the requests and elevations happening – as they happen. Admin By Request’s management tools put you in the front seat of the whole operation.

What is Compliance by Design?

» admin by request

Rather than retrofitting security solutions to meet audit requirements, forward-thinking organizations are building their IT infrastructure with compliance as the foundation. This proactive approach eliminates the costly scramble of implementing disconnected point solutions when audit deadlines loom, instead creating integrated systems where security controls naturally align with regulatory frameworks from day one. By Designing infrastructure around compliance requirements companies achieve stronger security posture and audit readiness as inherent qualities of their systems, not afterthoughts.

How Can Privileged Access Management Help You with GDPR Compliance?

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is European Union legislation that requires organizations to protect the personal data and privacy of EU citizens. GDPR mandates strict data protection principles including lawfulness, fairness, transparency, purpose limitation, data minimization, accuracy, storage limitation, integrity, confidentiality, and accountability. Organizations must implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure data security, demonstrate compliance through documentation, and enable data subject rights while facing significant penalties for violations.

Easy Integration

Admin By Request integrates with Windows, macOS, and hybrid cloud environments without requiring major infrastructure changes. This enables organizations to enhance data protection controls and access management processes over systems containing personal data without disrupting daily operations or existing data processing activities.

Enhanced Security

Control privileged access through just-in-time elevation, approval workflows, and session time limits. Admin By Request enforces least privilege access to systems containing personal data, monitors all privileged activity with comprehensive audit trails, and helps protect sensitive personal information from unauthorized access or modification that could result in data breaches or privacy violations.

Simple Implementation

Deploy and manage granular access policies at scale using built-in automations. Admin By Request simplifies implementation of technical safeguards for applications and databases processing personal data, reducing manual overhead while maintaining consistent policy enforcement across all systems that support GDPR compliance requirements.

Accountability and Documentation

Generate comprehensive logs, reports, and dashboards aligned with GDPR accountability obligations. Admin By Request provides verifiable evidence of who accessed personal data, when, and for what purpose, creating the detailed audit trails that data protection authorities require to assess compliance with data protections principles and security measures.

Data Security Measures

Eliminate the use of shared administrator accounts and unsecured credentials that pose risks to personal data security. Admin By Request issues secure, time-limited privilege elevation with full authentication and logging, reducing the risk of unauthorized access to systems containing sensitive personal data and helping prevent data breaches that could trigger GDPR notification requirements.

Reduced Compliance Risk

By removing standing privileges and securing access pathways to systems processing personal data, Admin By Request supports key GDPR requirements including data security, access controls, and breach prevention. This reduces the likelihood of data protection violates, while demonstrating proactive compliance with data protection by design and by default principles.
