The new EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) looms and will take effect in May 2018, but according to Gartner, less than 50 percent of companies* are on track to be compliant by the due date. GDPR is the most significant change in data privacy regulation in more than 20 years. It represents an extraordinary shift in the way businesses will be expected to operate when they gather, process, maintain, and protect personal data of EU data subjects. Any organization that retains information of EU data subjects must be in compliance or face huge fines of up to 4% of worldwide turnover.
Companies have worked hard over the past few years to design and implement GDPR compliance programs in time for the May 25, 2018 deadline. Internally, they may have generated hundreds or thousands of pages of project plans, policies, processes and reports – including Article 30 records of processing, Article 35 DPIAs, and much more.
With the EU General Data Protection Regulation right around the corner, you have probably heard that there will be six legal bases for processing personal data – consent, performance of a contract, compliance with a legal obligation, vital interests, public interest or official authority, and legitimate interests.
