The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will take effect across the European Union (EU) on 25 May 2018, when it supersedes the 28 current national data protection laws.
Being prepared for GDPR with Asset Discovery
The aim of the new Regulation is to strengthen individuals’ privacy and security rights, as well as to simplify the free flow of personal data in the EU. It applies to any organisation, whether or not it is based in the EU that collects, stores or processes the personal data of EU individuals. A key requirement for organisations will be to ensure that the personal data held is secure, and to prevent data breaches through encryption measures. Where in breach of the Regulation, organisations can expect fines of up to 4% of their annual global turnover or €20 million.
