What is a record of processing activities under GDPR?
A record of processing activities (RoPA) is a documentation requirement under GDPR Article 30. It requires organizations to document what personal data they process, the purpose of that processing, data categories, retention periods, and technical safeguards. Controllers and most processors are required to maintain a RoPA and make it available to supervisory authorities on request. A RoPA automation tool like DataGrail continuously discovers and updates this documentation rather than relying on manual inventory reviews.
