What’s the GDPR?

After the scandal caused by global mass surveillance of the population, the European Union decided to act and protect its citizens. On that occasion, the General Data Protection Regulation (shortened as “GDPR”) was passed and became enforceable for every Member State of the European Union. The GDPR aims to create a legal frame about the collection of personal information by companies so that the persons’ data cannot be used for ill deeds. People finally have power over the data that they share to companies. Consequently, the regulation provides for heavy obligations and penalties in order to get the companies to comply.

Can I ensure compliance myself?

GDPR compliance can be a very long and difficult process depending on the size of your company or your line of business. The obligations imposed by the regulation are heavy to implement, to such an extent that you need a legal expertise to interpret the text and apply it. Without any legal skills, it can become a real nightmare for you to comply with the GDPR. To ensure a perfect compliance, the GDPR strongly advises to resort to a data protection officer (DPO). This DPO has legal and technical skills regarding data protection: he’s the most suited person to help you apply the regulation. Thanks to his expert profile, you can make your company compliant with serenity.

What are the DPO’s missions?

The DPO has many missions, and the following list is far from being exhaustive:

The DPO informs and advises your company to help make it compliant.
He ensures the enforcement of the GDPR within your company
He provides some advice to carry out an impact assessment
He’s the link between your company, your customers and the supervisory authority
