- Implement consent records plus data-subject access and deletion workflows.
- Encrypt data in transit and at rest; restrict and log administrative access.
- Prepare a breach-notification procedure that meets the timelines that apply in Bulgaria.
- Review contracts and data-processing agreements for every third-party service.
