Compliance with data privacy laws should be a top priority for all businesses.

A business’ ability to transfer and use customer data and other information is both integral to the day-to-day running of a company and key to profitability and success. With the introduction of new and more stringent data privacy laws, in particular the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), it is important now more than ever that businesses are fully informed and fully compliant.

The new law places protection of the privacy rights of the individual at its centre and, in the process, runs contrary to many business models that assume that data can flow freely, and without restriction in its use. The GDPR introduces a raft of new aggressive and intrusive rules, in particular very serious sanctions for breach which include fines which can go as high as 4% of the global turnover of a group of companies.

Adjustment to the new regime requires radical changes in approach for most businesses.
