New comment by Kalium in "USA needs law 'a lot like GDPR' says Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff"

You're once again completely right! Some of this could be farmed out with compliance-as-a-service!

However, it's perhaps possible that certain parts of GDPR impact core businesses processes involving the handling of customer data. None of this can be farmed out in a hands-off manner. It requires deep integration into your daily business. I cannot think of any framework that could handle such a thing, or a compliance service that could handle it for you.

You could definitely offer GDPR-compliance Wordpress or Magento as a service! It's just possible, however, that some things your customers could do with your offering might hold the potential to violate GDPR. As a result, you could not guarantee that you assume all the compliance requirements on their behalf in all cases.

In short, you're right! There is definitely room for some compliance services to be offered as a service! It's just, barely, possible that some small fraction of the items concerned might not be well-suited to this approach is all.

Have you considered reading the text of GDPR? You might find it to be an educational and informative experience. I did.
