GDPR Compliance

Many companies have prepared to be in compliant with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which was adopted in the European Union (EU) on April 27th, 2016 and became law on May 25th, 2018. This regulation affects security professionals in two key areas: reporting data breaches and data protection by design.
