The European Parliament adopted the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in April 2016, replacing an outdated consumer protection directive from 1995.

Companies must comply with these strict new rules by May 25, 2018.

The GDPR requires businesses – even if they don’t have a physical presence in Europe – to protect the personal data and privacy of EU citizens in electronic transactions that occur within EU member states. The GDPR also regulates the export of personal data outside the EU.

The GDPR governing body has a lot of latitude when it comes to assessing fines for data breaches and non-compliance. Businesses can even be held accountable for their processing partners’ mishandling of data.

The security experts at DataLink can help your business steer around these speed bumps toward faster GDPR compliance.
