The European Union is about to make one of the most radical changes in data protection ever seen by a government, and it will affect any company collecting information on European individuals – even if they have no business on the continent.

The EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will be implemented on May 28, 2018, and it outlines how data on EU citizens can be stored by companies around the world. Non-compliance to the new rules is costly: organizations in breach of the rules can be fined up to 4% of annual global turnover or €20 million ($23.4 million USD), whichever is greater.

What would cause such a hefty fine? “Not having sufficient customer consent to process data” is one item of malice listed on the EU’s website.

Even though it can take days and weeks for companies to figure out what’s going on when they’ve been hacked, GDPR rules stipulate that Brussels will need to be notified of any breach of personal data within 72 hours. Data processors will need to notify their customers of the same “without undue delay” or risk an astronomical fine.

This only scratches the surface of how GDPR will affect data collection and breach management. We encourage our readers to learn more about how this new law will affect their day-to-day business.

The key takeaway is that the EU is imposing draconian measures to force organizations to take cybersecurity seriously.

Evizone was founded on the principle that no data can ever be stored safely without best in class security and encryption. That is why we offer the strongest commercially available system for secure communications and compliance archiving.
