Companies ready for the new GDPR?

by Edorteam | 28 Sep, 2017

Are European companies prepared to assume the obligations of the new GDPR?

.

A KINGSTON TECHNOLOGY study affirms that the 62% of European companies lose confidential data due to the loss of USB memory sticks. Most companies do not include the control of these memory devices in their data protection policies. The study highlights as alarming the fact that the 52% of respondents acknowledge that their companies do not consider the protection of confidential and sensitive information downloaded and temporarily stored on USB sticks a high priority.

With the mandatory application of the new General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 the next May 25, 2018 it will be necessary to do a chip change , and adapt our companies to the new requirements of European regulations, such as the mandatory completion of a Risks evaluation that considers in a special way the analysis of the treatments in the data or the obligation in the encryption of files.

Updating privacy rights to new technological realities is completely necessary, although the hierarchy of priorities of companies is worrying, even more so, considering the toughening of the sanctioning regime in European regulations.

The consequences

Non-adoption of the new regulation not only entails exposure to fines of up to 4% of global turnover of the company or 20 million euros but the reputational loss that calls into question the security and protection of user data.

Are we willing to take million-dollar penalties for losing an unencrypted memory stick? The subsistence of any digital business goes through the correct protection of personal data, and with it, the necessary adaptation to these new regulations.

Edor Team has developed a plan for the implementation of the RGPD in companies, guarantor of the correct implementation of the requirements and duties of the new European law. Feel free to contact Contact contact us and ask for your budget.

  ¡Las empresas deberían estar listas para el GDPR desde hace mucho tiempo! ¡No hay excusas para no cumplir con las regulaciones de protección de datos! El tiempo ya está diciendo que las que no se preparen, ¡se arriesgan a multas y pérdida de confianza de los clientes! 🕒💻

  ¡Las empresas tendrán que adaptarse sí o sí! Si no están listas para el GDPR, se arriesgan a multas y a perder la confianza de los consumidores. La complacencia no es una opción en este caso. ¡Es mejor que se pongan las pilas ya!

  ¡Por supuesto que no! Muchas empresas europeas todavía tienen un largo camino por recorrer para cumplir plenamente con el GDPR. La falta de preparación y conciencia sobre la protección de datos es alarmante. ¡Es hora de despertar y actuar antes de que sea demasiado tarde! 🚨💻
