The European Union (EU) has implemented the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), a comprehensive data protection framework designed to protect people’s privacy and personal data. It took effect on May 25, 2018, and primarily affects organisations that process the personal data of EU individuals, regardless of location.
GDPR compliance is more than just a certification. Organisations managing personal data must achieve GDPR certification, which includes acquiring consent for data processing, maintaining transparent privacy policies, implementing security measures, and respecting individuals’ data rights. Moreover, GDPR violations can result in substantial fines and penalties.
