Before the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) were introduced, we had the Data Protection Act (DPA). But what's the difference?  GDPR expanded the definition of 'personal data' to include online identification markers, location data, genetic information - and a lot more. GDPR also meant the advent of Consent Policies and the requirement to report data breaches within 72 hours of the discovery of the breach. And, of course, the penalties for being deemed to have not taken appropriate steps to protect customers' data significantly increased. Brexit didn't change much about GDPR. It's now called UK-GDPR. Ultimately, GDPR was introduced to give people greater rights over what information about them is collected, how it is handled, how it is used and how it is stored. Whilst, as business owners, we may find the rules exhausting and cumbersome, my guess is we'll see these rules becoming more rigorously enforced as time goes on and life becomes even more digital. Let us help get you compliant and keep you compliant.

I often get asked why does my website have to be compliant with #gdpr When you browse the web it's very clear that many organisations have not grasped the basic legal requirements for protecting peoples data and complying with the legislation. Of course, this also means that they are displaying this breach in their compliance to the whole of the internet. Not a good plan! Our DPO as a Service provides our customers with support in this and many other areas of data protection compliance. https://lnkd.in/dY7TeMxH #dataprotection #dpo #databreach

What is the difference between a process, a sub-process and a processing activity? It really depends who you ask, doesn't it? A business analyst isn't a DPO nor is a compliance officer. Different pieces of legislation ask for similar things in different formats. On top of that, most haven't realised that data protection and privacy are two distinct matters (in the EU, two separate rights). They are only vaguely starting to understand because of the AI Act. And then comes confusion between Personal data and PII, especially for people in IT since the like of ISO27001 standard focuses on PII while legislation such as the #GDPR have a broader focus. These are some matters that at Data Protection City, the team helps organisations understand. Need help with Data Protection? Visit dataprotection.city #GDPR #DORA #NIS2 #POPIA #PDPL #LGPD

GDPR- Lead Supervisory Authority: Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the lead supervisory authority refers to the primary data protection regulatory authority responsible for overseeing compliance and enforcement for a data controller or processor operating in multiple EU member states. The lead supervisory authority is typically determined based on the main establishment or location of the data controller or processor. This authority serves as the main point of contact for cross-border data protection issues. The lead supervisory authority would typically be the data protection authority of the EU member state where the main establishment of the data controller or processor is located. #GDPR #DataProtection #InformationSecurity #PII #DataPrivacy

👀🐘💁🏼♀️ Is #GDPR still the elephant in the room? Not a new question, it was adressed several times in the past by many of my colleagues, among which Daniel SUCIU insisted a lot on this topic, as far as I remember 😃. 🤔 Well, I would like to know your opinion on this, in this point in time. ❓Do you still encounter data controllers/ processors that simply refuze to see the obvious fact that this Regulation is #mandatory to comply with and that it simply enhances clarity in the professional activities - one of the many benefits GDPR implementation brings?! ❓ Do you still have to use in the transfer of GDPR requirements the common language to be understood by the participants to the data protection discutions in the organisations? ❓There are different realities in Romania than other member states? #justasking #sharingexperiences

🚀 Excited to deepen my understanding of GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) after completing a minicourse on the topic! The course provided a comprehensive overview, including definitions of EU GDPR and UK GDPR, their objectives, compliance requirements, and important articles regarding fines for non-compliant organizations. Also learned about data controllers, data processors, DPOs, and essential considerations for handling PII (Personally Identifiable Information). Looking forward to applying this knowledge in my work! Also, found valuable insight and a source that can be used to read and understand the upshots of not following the GDPR norms. The official website of EDPB (https://lnkd.in/gndw2hYa) holds many cases where a fine was imposed on an organization/entity. #dataprotection #GDPR

The EU Regulation 2016/679, General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), has fundamentally transformed how businesses handle personal data. Introduced to protect the privacy rights of individuals in the EU. GDPR compliance is now a global necessity, impacting organizations worldwide. Non-compliance is not an option—violations can result in hefty fines. To stay compliant, businesses must implement robust data protection measures, including: - Clear Consent Protocols - Data Minimization - Right to Access - Right to Be Forgotten - Data Breach Notifications By adhering to these principles, companies can not only avoid penalties but also build stronger relationships with their customers based on transparency and trust.
