GDPR Readiness Assessment
GDPR Readiness Assessment and Process Implementation
Enacted in 2016, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) marks a significant change in the regulatory landscape across the European Union and beyond. In short, the GDPR strengthens data protection requirements for firms participating in the EU’s digital single market. Under GDPR, businesses benefit from reduced regulatory burdens, in exchange for the implementation of robust controls and processes to protect the privacy rights of EU residents. How will you meet the GDPR May 2018 compliance deadline?
GDPR Readiness Assessment
The time to act is now. Firms of all sizes must determine how GDPR will impact their business and act accordingly. As a busy executive, you may not have the time or resources needed to meet GDPR’s stringent requirements. Secure Digital Solutions (SDS) helps our clients identify GDPR readiness gaps and define common-sense strategies for addressing these gaps. We use a proven approach to quickly identify, analyze and measure the scope and impact of GDPR compliance for firms of all sizes. Our typical process breaks GDPR readiness activities into five phases, each with clear objectives and deliverables (see illustration).
