Data Protection Assessment

Is your organization ready for EU GDPR?

EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) became law on May 25th 2018.

Compliance is mandatory for organizations operating within the EU.

Our early findings indicate the following:

  • Staff are unprepared for GDPR
  • Majority of breaches will comes from internal sources, not external
  • To be effective, GDPR strategy has to come from the business and IT, not just IT, and from the C-Level
  • Organizations need to focus on building data handling policies after tackling low-hanging fruit

Organizations need to ensure that they have the capabilities, resources, skills and comprehensive understanding of consumer data protection governance to mitigate against threats to data security and a potential data breach.

Our EU GDPR Readiness Assessment has been specifically created to quickly help organizations understand their current data risks and exposures in time for EU GDPR legislation.
