Data Protection Experts!
What is GDPR?
The General Data Protection Regulation comes into effect on 25th May 2018 and replaces the 1995 EU Data Protection Directive.
GDPR imposes strict new rules on businesses and organisations as to how they should control and protect the personal data and privacy of EU citizens.
Roles and Responsibilities
As part of this new regulation two main roles are required, that of the Data controller and the Data Protection Officer.
The key responsibility of a Data Controller is to be accountable, i.e., to take actions in line with GDPR, and to be able to explain the compliance with GDPR to data subjects and the Supervisory Authority, as and when required.
The key responsibility of the Data Protection Officer is to ensure compliance with GDPR and advise company management and staff on the right measures to take.
