Fast Track Your GDPR Compliance Efforts

Organizations often tackle compliance efforts in an ad hoc manner, resulting in an ineffective use of resources.
The alignment of business objectives, information security, and data privacy is new for many organizations, and it can seem overwhelming.
GDPR is an EU regulation that has global implications; it likely applies to your organization more than you think.

Our Advice

Critical Insight

Financial impact isn’t simply fines. A data controller fined for GDPR non-compliance may sue its data processor for damage.
Even day-to-day activities may be considered processing. Screen-sharing from a remote location is considered processing if the data shown onscreen contains personal data!
This is not simply an IT problem. Organizations that address GDPR in a siloed approach will not be as successful as organizations that take a cross-functional approach.
