The GDPR is a new EU privacy law taking effect in May 2018. It aims to strengthen and unify data protection for individuals within the EU. Organizations must comply with new rules regarding individual rights and data security. Non-compliance could result in fines of up to 20 million Euros or 4% of global revenue. To prepare, organizations need to appoint a Data Protection Officer, assess their practices, and implement processes to respect individual privacy rights under the GDPR.
