Creating value out of GDPR
28 May 2018What data are you collecting? Who are you collecting it from? What user consent processes are in place? How is the data protected in transit and at rest?
The introduction of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has transformed how organisations around the world handle individual privacy. And that change presents your business with an opportunity to drive more value from data.
As an SME, you can treat the EU GDPR as just another compliance issue. Or you can use its requirements to manage personal data in a way that will help you make more informed decisions and create a better experience for customers and other stakeholders.
In either case, conformity is mandatory for all organisations that handle personal data of anyone in the EU. And the penalties for not complying with the GDPR are up to €20 million or 4% of global annual turnover. For sure, the regulation shouldn’t be treated as a tick-box exercise.
Having a clear understanding of what personal data you collect and how you process it is the key to complying with this regulation. Fully appreciative of the complex nature of the exercise, we will work with your team to align the organisation's data infrastructure with GDPR requirements and assist the staff in order to be fully compliant in a complete and relaxed way to the newest requirements of GDPR. We also offer temporary and long term Data Protection Officer services, as well as in-house training and awareness sessions for your team.
