GDPR Event on 28 March 2018: what does it mean for my business?

GDPR data protection

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) comes into force on 25 May 2018 after a two year “grace” preparation period. However, many organisations (big and small) are behind in planning towards this deadline and are only now waking up to its realities and consequences.

The GDPR places far greater requirements on companies to manage their data, expands the scope of coverage significantly and can trigger substantial punitive measures for non-compliance. As an example, data controllers cannot “contract” out their accountability to data processors as the new regulations require joint and several liability. Accordingly, knowing how to adhere to the new regulations in a timely, practical, and affordable manner will be key to meeting your requirements without undue burden.
