Monitor Okta compliance pages

Workforce identity platform — enterprise SSO, adaptive MFA, lifecycle management, and identity governance for workforce and customer identity (via Auth0).

Okta publishes several compliance and legal pages that change over time. Under GDPR Article 28, data controllers using Okta as a processor must continuously verify that "sufficient guarantees" remain in place — which means tracking changes to these pages as they happen. Below are the 4 most relevant pages, what typically changes on each, and ready-to-paste monitoring prompts.
