Everything you need to know about GDPR compliance in Kentico 11
In the era of Big Data, AI and Machine Learning, data symbolizes a new economic asset that offers companies a significant competitive advantage, at the same time, it can damage the reputation and bottom-line of the companies that fail to ensure security and privacy of critical corporate and customer data.
In spite of the rigorous consequences of compromised data security, until lately, the penalties for breach of data protection regulations were limited and enforcement actions irregular. However, with the introduction of a potentially radical European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is expected to transform the way companies handle customer data by exposing them to the risk of heavy fines and severe penalties in the event of non-compliance and data breach.
The GDPR is different from all existing regulations because of its extensiveness of client data protection. From conditions on cross-border data transfer to the need to implement, review, and update adequate technical and organizational actions to protect customer data, the GDPR brings in several new legislative requirements that will considerably impact the way businesses collect, manage, protect, and share both structured and unstructured data.
What is GDPR?
Enforceable from 25 May 2018, GDPR is a latest EU regulation that is specifically designed to update the existing Data Protection Directive, through which there will be protection and free movement of personal data of all individuals across EU. The regulation is applicable to organizations that collect or process data from EU residents or cooperate with EU-based organizations that process the data on their behalf. GDPR also focuses on combined approaches to data privacy and security. At the crux of GDPR - the objective is to simplify, unify, and update the protection of personal data of individuals. The regulation is not limited to EU companies and people of EU. All companies that deal with EU citizen data will have to comply with GDPR, at least for EU citizens.
Benefits of GDPR
- It will allow companies to build customer trust.
- Will enhance brand image and reputation.
- Advanced data governance.
- Protects data from unauthorized access.
- Enhanced information security.
- Better competitive advantage.
GDPR not only involves companies to implement a sturdy and perfect infrastructure to collect, store, and process data, but also directs them to constantly review and update the infrastructure. From an organization perspective, the GDPR defines several roles that are responsible for ensuring compliance: data controller, data processor and the data protection officer (DPO). According to the PwC survey, 68% of U.S. based companies expect to spend $1 million to $10 million to meet GDPR requirements. Another 9% expect to spend more than $10 million. Some 60% companies are still not sure about GDPR compliance.
The GDPR places equal responsibility on data controllers (the company that owns the data) and data processors (outside companies that help manage the data). A third-party processor not in compliance means your company is not in compliance. Thus, the GDPR also has strict regulations for reporting data violation that everyone in the chain must be able to comply. Companies must also inform customers of their rights under GDPR.
What will happen if the company does not comply with GDPR?
Data controllers and processors that fail to comply with the GDPR regulations need to face severe consequences like reputational risk, huge fines i.e. 20 million EUR or 4 percent of the company’s global turnover whichever is higher. To avoid these huge fines, companies need to have complete and mature data governance in place. From modifying the existing contracts to getting a buy in from the key people in organizations, companies will require to review their entire data process management approach in order to become compliant and alleviate reputational and financial risks.
