GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a comprehensive EU law that governs the collection, processing, and storage of personal data, effective since May 25, 2018. It aims to protect individuals' privacy by giving them control over their data and applies to any organization handling EU citizens' information. Key principles include transparency, security, and data minimization. Individuals have rights to access, correct, delete data, and object to certain processing. Non-compliance can lead to significant fines, up to €20 million or 4% of global revenue.

At digiALERT, we specialize in GDPR compliance services. Our services provide a comprehensive view of your organization's data privacy practices and its associated risks. We analyze your data processing activities, identify gaps in compliance with GDPR regulations, and provide detailed recommendations for improving data protection. We start by reviewing your data collection, storage, and processing practices to ensure they align with GDPR requirements, such as lawful basis for processing, data minimization, and purpose limitation. We also assess the security measures in place to protect personal data from breaches or unauthorized access. Once gaps are identified, we provide detailed recommendations on how to address these issues to ensure compliance with GDPR. Next, we review your organization's policies and procedures for handling data subject rights, including access, rectification, and deletion requests. This includes reviewing data protection impact assessments (DPIAs) and other relevant documentation. We also evaluate your organization's readiness for handling data breaches and compliance with industry standards and regulations.

It fosters customer trust by ensuring transparent and accountable data practices. Compliance reduces the risk of data breaches and enhances data management. It also provides a competitive edge and prepares businesses for global data protection standards. Ultimately, GDPR helps protect brand reputation and positions data privacy as a strategic advantage.

• GDPR applies to any organization processing personal data of individuals in the EU, regardless of the organization’s location. This includes businesses operating within the EU, as well as those outside the EU that offer goods or services to EU residents or monitor their behavior. Both data controllers, who determine how data is processed, and data processors, who handle data on behalf of others, must comply. Public authorities and bodies are also subject to GDPR regulations.
