Start with the GDPR baseline, then assess the national provisions concerning employee data, private-sector DPO thresholds, research, video surveillance, credit and scoring. Apply sector legislation and regulator measures where the national law refers to them.
Use the country-specific law page and controls as a delta layer. Retain the current official text, an applicability decision and evidence for every national rule implemented.
