Computer Weekly Buyer's Guide to EU General Data Protection Regulation

The pressure is on for companies to comply with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation.

In this 12-page buyer’s guide, Computer Weekly discusses:

 

  • How to get tooled up to meet GDPR requirements 
  • Why GDPR is great for SMEs 
  • The rights and wrongs about GDPR compliance

These are also closely related to: "Complying with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)"

  • Jargon buster guide to GDPR

    The European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) comes into effect on 25 May 2018. GDPR will introduce new accountability obligations and stronger rights and restrictions on international data flows.

    GDPR introduces new obligations for any organisation that handles data about EU citizens - whether that organisation is located in the EU or not. It introduces data breach notification into European law for the first time. And it places stricter responsibilities on organisations to prove they are adequately managing and protecting personal data.

    In this guide, we provide the 10 most important things you need to know about GDPR, and a jargon-buster explanation for some of the key terminology.

  • Data governance more important now than ever

    As organisations generate and store ever-increasing volumes of data, governance of that data has never been more important. If unchecked, the proliferation of data will result in project files being replicated throughout a network, and in conjunction with unrestricted access to project folders, this can lead to risks of data exposure.

    Data governance is essential to data security, which requires organisations to know where data flows, with whom it is shared and where it lives at rest.

    By bringing data under stricter control, through using collaborative tools and rigid policies, organisations will not only improve data security, but will also make gains in efficiency, cost effectiveness and customer trust.

    Governance and transparency around how data is collected and protected is key to customer trust, and therefore makes good business sense, say privacy experts.

    A year on from the full implementation of the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the UK’s privacy watchdog has urged organisations to embed sound data governance in all business processes.
