Development of a Comprehensive GDPR and Privacy Compliance Solution for WordPress Platforms

The client faces significant difficulties in maintaining compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the US California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). These regulations present complex requirements for data privacy, user rights, and breach notifications, which are challenging to address through existing solutions and workflows. Without an integrated, easy-to-manage compliance tool, the platform risks legal penalties, reputational damage, and loss of customer trust, especially as regulations evolve.
