Came into enforcement in May 2018 General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the new data protection regulation that changes the way businesses and organizations handle personal information.
Today’s rapid technological changes are resulting in the large-scale creation, usage, storage, and distribution of digital information. The old models of data handling frameworks are not sufficient to meet the challenges and trends of globalization and technology advancement.
Hence, organizations that transfer their personal data outside of the European Union (EU) must adhere to the GDPR data transfer guidelines. GDPR provides numerous opportunities and benefits. It increases the organization’s obligations and investments made to be GDPR compliant.
The penalties for organizations that fail to comply with GDPR requirements can reach up to € 10 million or 2% of an organization’s annual turnover, whichever is greater.
