How Health Haven Achieved GDPR Compliance in Just 1 Week with SecureSlate
About Health Haven
Health Haven is a UK-based B2B2C startup that connects users with vetted wellness professionals, including personal trainers and nutritionists.
As a platform handling sensitive personal data, Health Haven needed to ensure robust GDPR compliance to protect user privacy, meet regulatory requirements, and build trust with enterprise clients.
“We partnered with SecureSlate to help us with compliance tasks for GDPR. In just about a week, we were able to implement GDPR, and this has helped us unlock significant sales traction.”

The Challenge
Edward’s team mostly used traditional and manual processes to manage its extensive compliance obligations. This workflow worked for a small team but quickly became unsustainable as the company grew.
Health Haven’s platform, which enables users to book confidential consultations with personal trainers, nutritionists, and other wellness professionals, handles sensitive health data across multiple jurisdictions. This meant that Health Haven must keep up with regulations like GDPR and HIPAA.
The longer compliance took, the more deals were at risk of falling through. What should have been a competitive advantage — their commitment to data protection — became a liability because of the slow, manual process.
The Solution
Health Haven turned to SecureSlate for a smarter approach to GDPR compliance. Unlike traditional methods, SecureSlate provided an end-to-end solution combining automation with expert guidance.
SecureSlate integrated into Health Haven’s current systems, continuously scanning for vulnerabilities, assessing gaps, and also collecting all necessary compliance evidence in the background. This eliminated weeks of manual work that would normally be spent gathering screenshots, configuration details, and system logs.
“SecureSlate turned a chaotic process into a structured workflow. We worked closely with SecureSlate’s consultants to review gaps and ensure we have covered all the required documentation and evidence”
The Impact
In just 7 days — a process that typically takes companies weeks — they achieved full GDPR compliance. This rapid turnaround had immediate business benefits.
Health Haven closed 2 major enterprise contracts with firms representing over 150 employees combined.
“GDPR compliance became part of our sales pitch.”
Internally, the impact was just as significant. SecureSlate’s centralized approach eliminated most manual work while providing clearer visibility into Health Haven’s GRC program. The platform simplified adopting new frameworks as requirements evolved. Most importantly, it freed the team from relying on redundant spreadsheets.
“We no longer need multiple spreadsheets for every different framework and regulation. With SecureSlate, we now have a single source of truth that adapts to all our requirements.”
