General Data Protection Regulation

The dramatic increase in the use of personal data and the risks associated with that use has resulted in the introduction of data protection regulations around the world. All organisations that deal with data relating to EU citizens must comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which came into force in May 2018.

The GDPR imposes significant requirements and provides for substantial sanctions on all obliged individuals and organisations, and represents a major advance in global personal data protection regulation. In 2020 alone, the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) imposed more than £40m in fines for GDPR failures, highlighting how data protection has become one of the most pressing regulatory areas for organisations.
