GDPR: The countdown begins
With less than 100 days to go in the countdown until the May 25th d-day for the General Data Protection Regulation, there’s more noise than ever out there right now. In a recent this article, BCS, the Chartered Institute for IT, states that “getting a compliance programme implemented, in a way that aligns to business needs, is a suggested approach to reduce the risk of falling foul to the legislation”.
The article takes the view that irrespective of your role in IT, you will have seen and read to some extent about the GDPR – but it’s how you take in the information and translate that into an appropriate action plan for your business that’s the important part.
It also discusses the varying stages in preparation that organisations seem to be at at the present time, and finds that “a substantial number of small-to-medium organisations have now turned to GDPR preparations with around six months to go”.
