Our team of experts is dedicated to providing unparalleled support, ensuring your organization achieves and maintains a robust privacy posture in compliance with the GDPR.
What is GDPR?
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a comprehensive data privacy regulation enacted by the European Union (EU) in 2018. It aims to harmonize data protection laws across the EU and protect the privacy rights of its citizens. The GDPR applies to all organizations that process the personal data of EU residents, regardless of the organization’s location.
The GDPR emphasizes transparency, accountability, and the protection of personal data. Organizations must implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data. Fundamental principles of the GDPR include data minimization, purpose limitation, accuracy, storage limitation, and confidentiality.
Who should consider aligning with GDPR?
Any organization that processes the personal data of EU residents, regardless of the organization’s size or location, should comply with the GDPR. This includes businesses operating in finance, healthcare, technology, retail, and more sectors. Failure to comply with the GDPR can result in significant fines and reputational damage.
