The step-by-step plan below shows the steps from A to Z to end up with a BC 5701 GDPR certification:

- Purchase the [GDPR Certification Standard and Criteria BC 5701 (EN)](https://brandcompliance.com/en/product/bc-5701-2024-en/) via our website.
- Schedule a no-obligation [introductory meeting](https://brandcompliance.com/en/contact/meet-brand-compliance/) with one of our specialists.
- Follow one of our BC 5701 training courses to obtain the necessary knowledge about the requirements in BC 5701.
- Implement the requirements of the GDPR Certification Standard and Criteria BC 5701 (NL) with the associated management system in your organization.
- Carry out an internal audit to check whether the management system works properly and to assess whether your system meets the standard requirements.
- Management should review the results of the internal audit and take any corrective action. You record the conclusion regarding compliance with the requirements in the management review.
- Once you have determined that your organization meets the requirements of the standard, our auditor will independently assess whether your management system meets the requirements of BC 5701.
- If your organization meets the standard requirements, you will receive a certificate from us.
