The GDPR A New FACT OF LIFE
The May 25, 2018 GDPR deadline made training a priority
On May 25, 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) became a hard and permanent reality of doing business in the European Union. It doesn’t stop at the EU’s physical borders, and it empowers data protection authorities to levy penalties up to 20 million euros or four percent of an organization’s annual revenues for data protection violations.
Despite that huge risk, thousands of enterprises have not planned and implemented GDPR compliance programs or trained their staffs. Some don’t even know for sure if the GDPR applies to them. That ignorance can cost money, damage reputations, and erode the trust of customers, employees, vendors and partners.
You don’t have to be one of those organizations. Use this guide to determine if the GDPR applies to you, and how to take the first steps toward compliance.
