Accountability principle

A core GDPR principle: being able to prove your compliance at all times.

Definition

Accountability (Article 5(2) GDPR) requires the controller to be able to demonstrate compliance at all times through policies, processes and documentation (record of processing activities, DPIAs, procedures).

Context & regulatory framework

It underpins the GDPR's accountability approach: no prior authorisation, but a permanent obligation to provide evidence.
