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.
This eBook introduces the GDPR, provides security consideration for an enterprise on the challenges from a Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance (GRC) perspective, and highlights the key steps that an enterprise should take to prepare for GDPR readiness.
