The regulation mandates need for operational and technological controls for protection against data violation, and grants new rights for individuals in treatment of their personal data. In short, the GDPR underpins data governance for all kinds of businesses to define data protection rules specific to them.

Overview

The enactment of the GDPR is motivating businesses from around the world to reassess the ways in which they are handling personal information. The regulations involve new levels of responsibility and accountability for any enterprise that collects, stores, or processes personal data of EU citizens even those outside the European Union. GDPR compliance is mandatory and will require each and every company to demonstrate complete transparency and honesty in operational and technological dealings with personal data of EU citizens. The purposes of data collection must be stated clearly, and the consent of a user, in no uncertain terms, is necessary.

DEFINING THE GDPR

Ensuring compliance with the GDPR can be outlined in four steps:

Handing of Personal Data

Identification of personal data

Systems in which personal information is collected and stored are identified, and an inventory of those systems is created.

Handing of Personal Data

Evaluation of all data-handing mechanisms

The methods by which personal data is collected, stored, and processed are assessed, and a study is performed to evaluate the potential privacy impact of handing sensitive information.

Handing of Personal Data

Introduction of new policies and protocols

Based on the results of the impact study, implement new procedures to limit the collection and usage of personal data, provide clear opt-out options for users, and controls to detect, prevent, and report data breach.

Handing of Personal Data

Maintain compliance

Keep all documentation regarding the processing of data current. Manage personal information from a central location, and respond/maintain actionable user requests regarding their personal data.
