GDPR has no certification, so cost sits in the readiness program, tooling, and ongoing privacy operations. The figures below are planning estimates in CAD.
Every figure below is a planning estimate that varies by scope. See also GDPR for Canadian startups.
Typical ranges in Canadian dollars. These are estimates for planning, not quotes.
| Cost area | Typical range (CAD) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Readiness / data-mapping program | $15,000 - $50,000 | Data mapping, lawful bases, DPAs, and rights workflows. |
| Assessments (DPIAs) | Included in readiness | Data Protection Impact Assessments where required; no certification fee. |
| Tooling | Varies | Consent management, DSAR handling, and records of processing. |
| Ongoing privacy operations | Recurring | DPO or privacy-team time and continuous rights handling. |
