In 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), aiming to improve data protection for individuals across the EU, will become directly applicable. Organisations will need to be compliant with the new rules and should act immediately.
By developing good knowledge of the GDPR and understanding how it will affect you, you will learn about the first steps for making your organisation compliant and can immediately start taking them.
The EU General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) add extra responsibilities to the Data Protection Act 1998 on the 25th of May, 2018.
