Are you Prepared for GDPR?
GDPR will have a significant impact on every organisation doing business with the EU. Are you prepared?
The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) comes into effect on 25 May 2018. It is exacting legislation and significantly different from the laws it replaces. It will be adopted by the UK post-Brexit. While the challenges around organisational understanding of the legislation and implementation of measures to adhere to it are significant, it is also an opportunity to adopt best practice around data governance. GDPR will have the full attention of the board, given the punishing new fines for non-compliance.
