GDPR (The European Union General Data Protection Regulation) seminar

The EU General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR) is new legislation that ensures a single, harmonised data privacy law within the European Union. With the increasing risk of data breaches from cyber-attacks and hacking, the EU GDPR aims to prevent the loss of personal data by improving data security for all individuals living in EU member states. Organisations have until 25th May 2018 to comply or potentially face fines of up to 4% of annual turnover or €20 million.
