General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a regulation that enforces a stronger data protection regime for organizations that operate in the European Union (EU) and handle EU citizens’ data. GDPR constitutes the protection of personal data of employees, customers and others. In case organizations fail to comply with this regulation, they will be subject to heavy fines and damaged reputation. Considering that personal data represents critical and sensitive information that all organizations should protect, such a regulation will help put in place appropriate procedures and controls to prevent Information Security breaches. Since May 2018, all organizations that operate in the EU should comply with this regulation.
