GDPR compliance for blockchain

From initial readiness assessments to third-party management, to gap analysis and maturity assessments including training, we can support your business at every step of the GDPR compliance journey.

What Is GDPR?

Data protection is an ongoing issue for all organizations which became more complex since May 2018, with the introduction of the new EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Failure to comply could result in fines of up to €20 million+, and substantial planning is needed to ensure compliance.

GDPR FAQs

Is my business suitable for a smart contract?

This is something that needs to be taken on a case-by-case basis. We have checklists to make this determination.

What is the typical timeframe for a smart contract implementation?

Implementing a simple smart contract can take up to 10 weeks. It is important to understand that the actual smart contract development only takes up 10 – 20% of the total project. The majority of a smart contract implementation involves front-end and back-end development, UI and UX design, graphic design, and other services. For MVPs, from start to finish, we generally complete smart contract development projects in 18 weeks.

What other expertize do we require apart from smart contract developers?

Smart contract development only consumes 10 – 20% of the overall smart contract implementation. The remaining 80 – 90% is consumed by:

  • Systems Architect – ensuring the technology is designed and developed in a secure, robust and scalable manner.
  • Graphic Designer – designing logos, graphics, buttons and to design screens in collaboration with the UI/UX team.
  • UI/UX – ensuring the user journey is designed with the end user in mind.
  • Front-End – developing a client-facing interface or storefront.
  • Back-End – developing a backend that is designed to filter entries to the blockchain database.
  • Mobile – developing a native iOS and/or Android mobile application, if required

Do you do proof-of-concept?

Yes. A lot of our clients are opting for proof-of-concepts (POCs) to test their concept. We believe this is a prudent cost-saving approach which allows clients to test the capabilities of their smart contracts.

What is the cost of implementing a smart contract for my business?

The implementation cost of a smart contract varies from project to project. At Blockchain Reactor, we specialize in providing cutting-edge blockchain solutions. As a result, we will need to assess your project’s scope to provide you with a ballpark cost estimate.
