The EU General Data Protection Regulation came into force in May 2018. It doesn’t matter where you operate in the world … if you hold personal data on EU citizens, and that data is breached or mismanaged, bosses and organisations could face fines of up to 20m Euros or 4% of annual revenue … whichever is greater.
Changes to Data Protection laws cover EU and non-EU countries alike. These changes include shorter disclosure times (72 hours), active proof of ‘consent’, recruitment of formal Data Protection Officers, strengthening the ‘right to be forgotten’, and 150+ other strict legal requirements.
Every company that holds data about EU citizens will be impacted by the EU General Data Protection Regulation. Our GCA certified course, conducted by leading UK Information Security specialists, will prepare companies for data compliance as well as for crisis management responses. Firms and government institutions face fines of up to 20m Euros or 4% of annual revenue companies if they lose EU citizens personal data. Companies that can demonstrate full awareness and staff training efforts, are likely to cushion the punishment!
