EU GDPR Compliance Simplified
Why Is GDPR Compliance Worth Your time?
If your company handles the personal data of EU citizens—which includes email addresses, phone numbers, IP addresses and more—you must become GDPR compliant within 72 hours after becoming aware that an individual whose information is held by your organization has requested access.
Why is it worth your time?
- It protects your customers from identity theft
- It prevents lawsuits from consumers who feel their rights were violated
- It gives you an advantage over competitors because you are able to retain customer trust and loyalty
What Is EU GDPR Compliance Certification?
The European Union General Data Protection Regulation [EU GDPR is a regulation that sets mandates & guidelines for the collection & processing of Personally Identifiable Information [PII] from individuals who live in the European Union [EU]. Since the Regulation applies regardless of where the Data Processors are based, it is applicable to any system that has European Users, even if they do not specifically market goods or services to individuals residing in the EU. The EU GDPR mandates that EU Users be provided adequate data disclosures. The system must also facilitate a timely notification in the event of a Security or Data breach. Adopted in April 2016, the Regulation came into full effect in May 2018, after a two-year transition period.

Frequently Asked Questions
The General Data Protection Regulation [GDPR] is the toughest privacy and security law in the world. Though it was drafted and passed by the European Union [EU], it imposes obligations onto organisations anywhere, so long as they target or collect data related to people in the EU. The regulation was put into effect on May 25, 2018. The GDPR will levy harsh fines against those who violate its privacy and security standards, with penalties reaching into the tens of millions of euros.

- Designating a Data Protection Officer [DPO] who oversees compliance efforts and makes sure employees are trained on privacy matters
- Developing processes for gaining consent from customers about how their data will be used
- Implementing processes for gaining consent from customers about how their data will be used
- Designing a mechanism for data subjects to access their personal data, correct it if necessary and request that it be deleted
- Creating a data breach notification system that notifies authorities and customers in a timely manner after an incident occurs
- Implementing procedures for gaining consent from customers about how their data will be used
- Maintaining records of how data is used and processed
- Providing customers with clear information about what data is collected and how it’s used
- Implementing mechanisms for individuals to access the data you hold on them, as well as correct and delete erroneous information
- Consent
- Data Minimization
- Security
- Transparency
The minimum size of a company that must comply with GDPR has been hotly debated among experts, but most agree that any company that processes more than 5,000 personal details on EU citizens per year must have a DPO on staff. This means that if you have a large number of customers in Europe, or if you're using data analytics to track people's behavior across multiple platforms (like Facebook), then it will be necessary for you to hire someone specifically focused on GDPR compliance.
