Enquire for EU GDPR Compliance Certification
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.
