GDPR and ISO 27001
About EU GDPR
The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) 2016/679 was designed to harmonize data privacy laws across Europe. GDPR was developed to protect and empower all EU citizens data privacy and to reshape the way organizations across the region approach data privacy. This regulation harmonises all the data protection laws across Europe and comes into effect from 25th May 2018. Heavy fines can be expected for non-compliance.
EU GDPR Applicability
The regulation applies if the data controller or processors or the data subject (person) is based in EU. The EU GDPR also applies to organisations based outside the EU if they collect or process personal data of individuals located inside the EU. Organisations in breach of the regulations can be fined up to a maximum of 4% of annual global turnover or 20 Million Euros (whichever the greater).
