The GDPR in a nutshell allows individuals who reside in EU member states to make informed and empowered decisions to better control the personal data that’s currently held by companies.
Ripples of concern have been felt on the opposite side of the globe, as far away as Australia. Although many small business owners have thus far dismissed claims of the relevancy of the GDPR – to ignore this elephant in the room would be a huge mistake for your business.
A report by Ernst & Young from earlier this year, Global Forensic Data Analytics Survey, found that less than 12% of Aussie businesses are prepared for the profound ramifications of the GDPR.
We may be far away from the EU over here in the antipodes but don’t let that fool you.
If you’re a small or mid-sized business and you offer goods and services to individuals located in the EU and you retain data about those individuals – your business will need to be compliant to the GDPR.
Non-compliance to the GDPR could result in financial penalties to your business. These include fines of up to £20 million or 4% of global turnover, whichever is higher.
