This is the repository for the GDPR Activity Hub project.

The GDPR Activity Hub is an open source project that you can consider as a starter kit for building a management hub for EU GDPR (European Global Data Protection Regulation). The goal of this project is to give customers and partners something to start with and to play with in order to keep track of all the fundamental events, requests, tasks and activities required to be compliant with the GDPR.

Furthermore, one fundamental goal of this project is to show how to use the latest Microsoft technologies (like the SharePoint Framework, Office UI Fabric, Office 365 Developer Patterns and Practices, etc.) to easily build real-life solutions.

The solution targets Microsoft Office 365 and it is founded on Microsoft SharePoint Online. The main components of the solution are a SharePoint Online Modern Site (i.e. an Office 365 Group Site), some custom developed SharePoint Framework client-side web parts, a few sample workflows built using Workflow Manager for SharePoint Online, and a Power BI dashboard. Moreover, there are some PowerShell script files that you can use to speed up the setup process of the solution in your own Office 365 tenants.

Please, refer to the User Guide document to understand what you can do with the GDPR Activity Hub.

The target audience for this project are Microsoft Partners and customers with an internal IT development team, which can install and customize the sample solution based on the real customer's needs. If you are an end-user company, you should ask a Microsoft Partner for support to customize, install, and use this solution.

In order to setup the solution, you can follow the instructions provided in the Setup Guide document.

Out of the box, the solution uses SharePoint Online to host the UI components, as well as to store data about events, requests, tasks and activities required by GDPR. However, you should keep in mind that SharePoint is not a replacement for a relational DBMS. Thus, you can use or consider to use this solution for small or eventually medium businesses, but you cannot use the solution "as is" for big enterprises or companies with many thousands of items to keep track of. Nevertheless, the architecture of the solution has been defined with a clear decoupling between the UI and the data persistence storage, so that you can eventually customize the solution (because it is an open source project) and replace the SharePoint Online persistence layer with a DBMS based storage system. The same approach can be used to connect the Power BI dashboard with a DBMS instead of using SharePoint Online as the main data source.
