Privacy is becoming increasingly important with increasing digitalization, the development of new technologies, data breaches and privacy violations, increasing awareness of privacy rights and legal changes. The GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) provides a legal framework for the protection of personal data. This European legislation requires organizations to keep data secure and give individuals more control over how that data is used.
What is GDPR?
GDPR, known in the Netherlands as the AVG, is the European law that protects and strengthens the privacy of individuals. The legislation applies to all organizations that process personal data in the EU and sets clear rules for the collection, storage, processing and sharing of data. Organizations must implement appropriate measures to comply with GDPR requirements. This includes:
- Implementing a processor agreement.
- Maintaining a register of processing activities.
- Conducting Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs).
- Reporting data breaches to authorities and data subjects.
Impact on businesses
GDPR has a significant impact on businesses and compliance requires a proactive approach to cybersecurity. Non-compliance can lead (unknowingly) to large fines.
