In a world that is becoming more digitized every day, privacy and data protection is an increasingly important subject. With regulations that affect businesses and individuals globally, data protection is no longer something that can be ignored. It is essential that IT professionals, employees, and organizations are aware of their responsibilities when it comes to data privacy laws. EXIN Privacy & Data Protection certifications are available in 3 different levels to cover everyone in your organization.
The General Data Protection Regulation has massive impact on how data is handled within the EU but also by organizations outside of the EU. Our blogs will help inform you about different aspects of the GDPR and how it can and will affect you and your organization.
From the deadline on the 28th of May 2018 non-compliance is punishable with severe fines. Make sure that you are aware of the impact that GDPR will have on your organization to ensure you do not get caught short.
Our blog ‘6 Basic Principles of the GDPR’ is a great place to start to find out more about GDPR and will start you on the road of ensuring you know what GDPR is and what you need to do to ensure compliance.
GDPR stands for General Data Protection Regulation. This regulation was created with the intention of strengthening and unifying data protection within the EU for all individuals. Aside from this, it also ensures that companies outside of the EU who deal with EU citizen data have to conform to the regulation.
GDPR entered into force on the 27th of April 2016. The deadline for compliance is the 25th of May 2018 – two years after the adoption of the regulation.
