Justification

RISK-BASED APPROACH #10: This package makes the GDPR’s risk-based approach practical by introducing objective categories for small, medium and large controllers. Small controllers with limited, non-core processing receive relief from selected administrative duties, while data-subject rights and enforcement remain intact. Very large controllers, gatekeepers and VLOPs/VLOSEs face stronger transparency, annual certification and closer supervision. Compliance effort is thus reduced where risks are low and increased where scale and systemic impact are greatest.
