Questions buyers ask

Is Very Good Security UK GDPR compliant?

CertReports does not decide that. It shows the public evidence that may support each UK GDPR requirement that reaches vendors: evidence was found or is available on request for use processors that provide sufficient guarantees (Article 28(1)), know and control sub-processors (Article 28(2) and (4)), and nothing public was found for put processing under a written contract.

What should I ask Very Good Security for?

Request published subprocessor list, data processing agreement, and confirm each is current.

This maps third-party obligations to the vendor evidence that may support them. It is not legal advice and never a statement that a vendor or its customers comply; confirm scope and sufficiency with your counsel or auditor. “No public evidence” means nothing public was found at the last check. Citations link to the official text.

Requirements reviewed 21 Sep 2026. The vendor lists the evidence on its trust centre behind a request or NDA; ask for it.
