About GDPR

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (EU) 2016/679 is a regulation in EU law for data protection and privacy of all individuals within the European Union. It is the largest European regulation of personal data protection over the last 20 years and will affect almost every organisation. The objective of Regulation 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council - GDPR is to harmonize the existing data protection laws in the individual EU Member States. The fact that GDPR is a ‘regulation’ means that this legislation will be applicable in all EU Member States. It is also applicable for export of personal data outside the EU. Non-compliance to GDPR will attract heavy penalties as levied by the regulators.

Penalties Levied by Regulators

  • Fine may be the greater of €10 million or 2% of global annual turnover, whichever is higher
    (For non-compliance: Technical measures like impact assessments, breach notifications and certifications)
  • Fine may be €20 million or 4% of global annual turnover, whichever is higher
    (For non-compliance: Key provisions of GDPR, basic principles for processing, transfer of personal data to a recipient in a third country, data subjects’ rights and non-compliance with an order by a supervisory authority)

Important Timelines
 The EU-GDPR (European Union General Data Protection) regulation act has been enforced from 25th May 2018 onwards.


GDPR is applicable to:

  • Data controller: An organisation that collects personal data from EU data subjects
  • Data processor: An organisation that processes the personal information on behalf of the data controller or data subject (person) that is based in EU.
  • The GDPR not only applies to organisations located within the EU but it will also be applicable to organisations located outside of the EU, if they offer goods or services to, or monitor the behavior of, EU data subjects.
  • It applies to all companies processing and holding the personal data of data subjects residing in the European Union, regardless of the company’s location.
     

Challenges ahead

  • In case you receive EU Citizen PII from your customer, they would mandate your organisation provides assurance of GDPR compliance.
  • Moreover, the GDPR not only applies to organisations located within the EU but it will also apply to organisations located outside of the EU if they offer goods or services to, or monitor the behavior of, EU data subjects. It applies to all companies processing and holding the personal data of data subjects residing in the European Union, regardless of the company’s location.
  • GDPR implementation involves deep understanding of data privacy, the regulation and involves multiple stakeholders from the organisation including Legal, HR, IT, Infosec, business teams and management.
  • Your clients will want to know that they can trust your organisation to protect their personal data and hence, GDPR compliance will be critical for building trust and earning loyalty.
  • Brand reputation is an organisation’s most valuable asset which is built over a course of time. Not complying to GDPR might affect your brand image adversely.

 Business benefits of GDPR compliance

  • Pre-requisite for doing business in EU region involving PII data of EU data subjects
  • Improved brand equity and reputation
  • Enhance your data security and privacy profile
  • Regulatory Compliance
  • Enhance your Information Security Posture
