GDPR Compliance
What is GDPR?
The GDPR is a regulation set in EU Law regarding the data protection and privacy of all individuals within the European Union. More than being a business improvement tool, the GDPR is law and must be adhered to by all organisations who process the personal identifiable information (PII) of any person within the EU.
Every organisation that processes the personal information of EU residents must adapt their data handling, information security, compliance processes and contractual relationships in order to meet the requirements of the regulations.
Failure to maintain compliance that results in a data breach that could or has affected a person’s rights and freedoms could bring fines of up to 4% of annual worldwide turnover or €20 million (whichever is greater). The organisations that need to be GDPR compliant are companies (controllers and processors), whether established in the EU or not, offering goods or services within the EU or to EU individuals.
