The EDPB Website Auditing Tool is a specialised compliance utility designed to evaluate whether websites adhere to applicable data-protection legislation. Developed within the framework of the European Data Protection Board’s Support Pool of Experts (SPE), the application enables both legal and technical auditors at national data-protection authorities (DPAs) to prepare, conduct and document a complete audit by simply visiting the target site. Controllers and processors who wish to perform an internal pre-assessment can likewise use the program to identify potential violations before an official inspection occurs. Version 2.0.0, the second public release, streamlines the previously manual checklist process into an integrated workflow that flags non-conforming practices in real time and generates a reproducible report suitable for administrative proceedings or corporate remediation plans. As a governance, risk and compliance solution, the software bridges the gap between high-level legal requirements and concrete technical checks, covering elements such as cookie banners, consent mechanisms, data-collection notices and third-party data flows. The tool is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g. winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
