Why GDPR compliance is important
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) gives rights to individuals to control their own data and how it is used. The regulation puts the emphasis on organisations to prove that they are doing no harm by processing personal data – this includes everything from an individual’s name, a business or personal email address, to an IP address. It requires organisations, however small, to be more accountable for their data processing activities by not only requiring them to comply but demonstrate how they are doing so.Data protection regulation is overseen by the UK regulator, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
