Consent Management Platforms handle the legal basis for data processing — if compromised, the organisation may lose its lawful basis for processing personal data. Security testing covers: can consent choices be manipulated (changing 'reject all' to 'accept all' through request modification)?; is consent data stored securely?; can consent records be tampered with (undermining audit trails)?; does the CMP correctly enforce consent choices across all data processing activities?; and are consent withdrawal requests properly propagated to all downstream systems?
