Take the GDPR data protection challenge

How well do you really know data protection rules?

With the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) coming into force in 2018, organisations are working hard to ensure they meet the new regulations. Companies processing over 5000 personal records per year or employing over 250 staff are now required to appoint a data protection officer, or DPO. Marketing teams will need to ensure they have consent from those they are marketing to and genetic and biometric information is now also considered sensitive data and GDPR.

How are you managing your GDPR compliance requirements?

GDPR added a significant compliance burden on DPOs and data processors. Data breaches must be reported to the authorities within 72 hours, each new data processing activity needs to be documented and Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA) must be carried out for processing that is likely to result in a high risk to individuals. Penalties for breaching GDPR can reach into the tens of millions of Euros.
