GDPR

GDPR

  • GDPR Overview: The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the world's strongest set of data protection rules, enforced across Europe since May 25, 2018, to protect personal information.

  • Personal Data Protection: GDPR defines personal data broadly and places strict limits on what organizations can do with it, categorizing businesses as controllers or processors with different obligations.

  • Global Relevance: Although a European law, GDPR applies to businesses outside the EU, including those in the US, making it essential for GRC professionals globally to ensure compliance.

Understanding GDPR is crucial for managing data privacy and avoiding significant fines and reputational damage.
