GDPR & PCI DSS Compliance
GDPR fines and PCI DSS penalties are not hypothetical risks — they are operational ones
GDPR enforcement actions against US companies have exceeded $1.3 billion in fines since 2018. PCI DSS non-compliance penalties range from $5,000 to $100,000 per month — and a data breach in a non-compliant environment transfers liability directly to your organisation. Cold Sun Capital configures GDPR data controls and PCI DSS security requirements directly in your ERP, CRM, and field service platforms — so compliance is a function of your technology, not a layer of hope on top of it.
Data privacy and payment security configured in your systems, not around them
Consent management, data subject request workflows, retention policies, and cardholder data environment scoping are not checkbox exercises — they are system configuration requirements. Cold Sun Capital designs and implements GDPR and PCI DSS controls within your existing Salesforce, NetSuite, or IFS environment, ensuring your technology supports your compliance obligations rather than creating gaps in them.

What GDPR and PCI DSS compliance covers in your platform
Cold Sun Capital addresses GDPR and PCI DSS at the system level — configuring controls in your ERP, CRM, and operational platforms rather than producing documentation that does not reflect system reality.
GDPR Data Mapping and Consent Management
Personal data flows mapped across your systems, consent capture configured at collection points, and data subject request workflows built into your platform — ready for regulatory inspection.
PCI DSS Scoping and Cardholder Data Protection
Cardholder data environment scoped, tokenisation and encryption configured, and network segmentation validated — reducing your PCI DSS compliance surface to the minimum required.
Retention Policies and Data Minimisation
Automated data retention and deletion schedules configured within your platform to enforce GDPR's data minimisation and storage limitation principles without manual intervention.
Breach Response and Notification Workflow
Incident detection, internal escalation, and regulatory notification workflows built into your platform — so a breach response starts in minutes, not days.
From compliance liability to a defensible data governance operation
GDPR and PCI DSS compliance failures share a common cause: organisations that document their compliance without engineering it. When consent is collected in a form but not enforced in the CRM. When cardholder data is encrypted in the payment system but exposed in the ERP integration. When breach response procedures exist as a PDF but nobody knows which system to isolate first. Cold Sun Capital eliminates these gaps by building compliance controls into your technology environment — so your compliance posture reflects what your systems actually do.

Frequently asked questions about GDPR & PCI DSS Compliance
Does GDPR apply to our US-based business?
GDPR applies to any organisation that processes the personal data of EU residents, regardless of where the organisation is based. If you have EU customers, EU employees, or EU website visitors whose data you collect, GDPR applies to you. Cold Sun Capital assesses your GDPR exposure as part of the initial compliance engagement and scopes the implementation to your actual risk surface.
What PCI DSS level applies to our organisation?
PCI DSS compliance level is determined by your annual transaction volume and how you process cardholder data. Cold Sun Capital conducts a scoping assessment at the start of every PCI DSS engagement to determine your compliance level, the applicable Self-Assessment Questionnaire or Report on Compliance, and the configuration changes required within your platform environment.
Can you configure Salesforce and NetSuite for GDPR compliance?
Yes. Cold Sun Capital configures consent management, data subject request workflows, field-level encryption, retention policies, and audit logging within Salesforce and NetSuite to support GDPR compliance requirements. Both platforms have native capabilities that, when correctly configured, satisfy the majority of GDPR technical controls.
How do you handle cross-border data transfer requirements under GDPR?
Cross-border data transfers from the EU to the US require appropriate transfer mechanisms — Standard Contractual Clauses, Binding Corporate Rules, or adequacy decisions. Cold Sun Capital reviews your data flows, identifies transfers requiring a legal mechanism, and supports the documentation and contractual process required to make those transfers lawful.
