Several reference links in the checklist point to websites with changed content #189
Description
I've noticed that the GDPR checklist has quite a few external resource links that seem to no longer be maintained or have changed significantly. The checklist itself is highly ranked in search results, which means users are relying on it for compliance guidance. But if the links we're pointing them to are broken or outdated, that's a real credibility problem.
Why this matters
- Users might follow outdated guidance and miss current best practices
- Broken or changed links hurt the credibility of the whole project
- Some of these domains look like they're for sale or have been repurposed
- Third-party hosted files (like the PDF on AWS) could disappear anytime
- It's a security issue when a trusted project links to unsecure or unreliable websites – users could end up on phishing pages or malicious sites
Specific problems I found
ComplianceRank (https://www.compliancerank.com)
- The site looks like it's been parked or just abandoned
GDPR Form (https://www.gdprform.io)
- Not sure if this service is even still active. The site might have changed or gone offline
SaaS CTO Security Checklist PDF (https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/sqreen-assets/whitepapers/SaaS+CTO+Security+Checklist.pdf)
- Hosted on AWS S3 by a third party (Sqreen). There's no guarantee it'll stay there if they ever move or delete it
Sqreen.io (https://www.sqreen.io/)
- Sqreen was the original inspiration for this project, but the company no longer exists. The website and all their resources have been taken down
