GDPR is mature law, but the calendar still matters. The most useful GDPR calendar includes both the fixed regulatory milestones that explain the current legal state and the recurring operational deadlines that determine day to day compliance. That means combining the adoption and application dates, SCC and adequacy milestones, and the ongoing clocks for DSARs, breach notification, DPIA review, RoPA maintenance, vendor oversight, and transfer reassessment.
These dates explain why certain transfer tools, guidance, and workflows look the way they do today.
They also help prevent stale documentation and outdated contract packs.
