One-off GDPR audit vs monthly monitoring — when is each worth it?
We’re launching SecureSpells: One-Off Compliance Audit — a one-time runtime website audit (headless browser) with structured findings and a secure report link. No subscription for that path.
We also offer ongoing monitoring on paid plans — scheduled re-audits of a domain over time (not “live traffic” monitoring).
How we think about the split:
One-off is for a moment: launch, investor diligence, M&A, a big marketing push, or “we need receipts once” on a critical site.
Monthly / recurring monitoring is for regression risk: marketing changes tags, devs ship, agencies touch GTM — the site drifts after you thought you fixed it.
We’re not a CMP: we don’t sell the banner — we audit what the site actually does (network + cookies + consent behaviour on the audited view) and give developer-ready guidance.
Questions for you:
When would you only buy a one-off audit?
When would you insist on recurring checks?
What would you want to see in the report to trust it with engineering and with legal/comms?
We’ll hang out in this thread and answer honestly.
