- • Step 1: Reliance on manual documentation processes
- • Step 2: Fragmented systems without integration
- • Step 3: Absence of automated audit trail
- • Step 4: No unified control dashboard
- • Result: Regulatory fine that destroys the company
Crime Scene Testimony:
"We thought we were compliant. We had written policies and a privacy officer. But when the audit came, we discovered we couldn't prove how we actually process data. The fine was €2.3 million."
— Executive Director, German medium-sized company (Triple Killer victim)

|---|---|---|
| Fine Risks | High exposure to fines | Controlled and monitored risks |
| Audit Pressure | Weeks to prepare documents | Instant audit readiness |
| Annual Cost | €150K-€500K + fine risks | €80K-€200K + fine protection |
