GDPR ↔ US Employment Law - Federal Baseline
3 canonical controls in Keel’s library satisfy clauses of both GDPR and US Employment Law - Federal Baseline. Implement each once, attach the evidence once, and it counts toward each standard. The overlap is the work you don’t repeat.
Controls that satisfy both
| Canonical control | GDPR clauses | US Employment Law - Federal Baseline clauses |
|---|---|---|
|
Data retention & secure disposal
Data is retained per policy and securely destroyed when no longer needed.
|

|
Personnel security (HR)
Background screening, confidentiality agreements, and onboarding/offboarding security steps.
|
Art.32 | us.hiring-onboarding.i9, us.hiring-onboarding.fcra-background, us.privacy.polygraph |
|
Personal data privacy

Clause identifiers (GDPR and US Employment Law - Federal Baseline) are referenced factually for mapping. Keel is not affiliated with or endorsed by the bodies that publish these standards. Control descriptions are Keel’s own; a framework’s full authored control count is on its framework page.
Why this is one project, not two
On a crosswalk-native model, US Employment Law - Federal Baseline mostly lights up controls you already built for GDPR. You’re not re-uploading the same screenshot for a second audit. You apply the framework and see the genuine delta worth working. That’s the whole idea behind collect once, comply everywhere.
