What Is the GDPR?

The GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) brings in major of changes, including a fundamental change to the way organizations manage personal data.

Basically, the GDPR means that organizations will need to take a more active approach towards management of personal data, monitoring and reporting. All organizations will need to make changes in policy, processes and contracts, as well as in technical and organizational compliance measures.

Since data breaches around the world have become more and more common, protecting personal data has become a very difficult challenge for any business.

Under the EU GDPR (enforceable from 25th May 2018) organizations handling EU data subjects that fail to comply with the GDPR will have as a result high penalties. Organizations can be fined up to €20 million or 4% of global annual turnover for the preceding financial year, whichever is the greater.
 

Which Business are affected by the new GDPR?

— Companies which process, store or transmit personal data belonging to EU residents

— Companies established outside the EU offering goods/services (paid or for free)

— Companies that monitor the behavior of individuals in the EU.
 

Organizations who are under the remit of GDPR but do not operate from within the EU are required to appoint an EU representative to handle their GDPR requests.
