Web Legal Compliance Audit

Protect your business from legal risk online

Does your website truly comply with Spanish and EU law? Many companies operating in Spain are unaware that cookie errors, missing legal notices, invalid consent forms, or flawed checkout processes can lead to complaints, fines, and lost customer trust. We audit your site to identify legal risks and help you comply.

What Is a Web Legal Compliance Audit?

A web legal compliance audit is a professional review of all legal and technical elements on your website to verify compliance with GDPR, Spain's LSSI, and EU consumer law. It identifies risks before they become sanctions, helping businesses operating in Spain avoid costly mistakes.

Spain's AEPD issued over €6 million in data protection fines in 2023 alone.
