Data Protection and Privacy : A Practical Guide to Complying with the EU General Data Protection Regulation

The data protection and privacy landscape is changing.

From 2016, the EU General Data Protection Regulation applies to all organizations carrying out activities within the Eurozone and places mandatory compliance and reporting requirements on businesses in all sectors.

The new regulations mean that every organization operating within the Eurozone will have to assess and change their approach to the data they handle, or face punitive financial sanctions.

Whether you are working in the public, private or voluntary sector, whether in an SME or multinational company, you need to be aware of your new responsibilities.

Data Protection and Privacy provides clear and robust guidance to the regulations and the steps needed for compliance. In direct and jargon-free language, the team of compliance, legal and technological experts behind Data Protection and Privacy succinctly explain the key points of the regulations, draw out the implications for organizations and interpret the headline EU Regulations into a series of clearly defined actions that you need to take in order to ensure compliance and avoid financial penalties. From the new rules relating to data access, processing and cloud computing, to conducting risk-based data protection impact assessments, reporting data breaches, and the newly created mandatory role of the Data Protection Officer (DPO), Data Protection and Privacy gives you the knowledge to become compliant.
