What is GDPR & It Influence Enhancing Data Privacy

The importance of the protection of private data and the business risk associated with it post-GDPR.

Frequently Asked Questions

The General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 sets rules for processing personal data of individuals in the EU. It applies to controllers and processors, with fines of up to EUR 20 million or 4% of worldwide annual turnover, whichever is higher.

It can. GDPR applies to organizations outside the EU that offer goods or services to, or monitor the behaviour of, individuals in the EU. Service providers processing for EU clients also take on GDPR obligations through processor contracts and transfer clauses.

A controller decides the purposes and means of processing. A processor processes personal data on the controller's behalf. Many organizations act in both roles for different activities.

Controllers must notify the competent supervisory authority within 72 hours where feasible, unless the breach is unlikely to result in a risk to individuals. Where the risk is high, affected individuals must also be told without undue delay.

No. The assessment identifies gaps and priorities against the GDPR. It is not a legal opinion, certification or regulator approval, and accountability for compliance stays with your organization.

Timing depends on processing complexity, the entities and systems in scope, and how readily evidence is available. QRC confirms a timeline after the scoping call.
