What is GDPR?
The General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR) will replace the actual directive (Data Protection Directive). GDPR is focused on the protection of data subjects. It will be enforceable from May 25, 2018. Organisations are encouraged to start preparing now, taking into account that some obligations may be onerous and time-consuming to implement.
Both administrative fines and legal proceedings can be placed against organisations found to be in violation of the regulations. Regulatory bodies across the EU have been given the power to enforce greater financial penalties than ever before. These fines are a maximum of € 20,000,000 or 4% of the total worldwide turnover for the parent company in the previous financial year, whichever is the greater value. The only way to minimise a fine is to show your steps towards compliance. From the outset, be aware that GDPR is not just an IT problem.
