With just over a year left until the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) goes live, it’s time for the industry focus to move from anticipating the impact to action.

According to a global Dell survey, almost all of the companies that took part — 97 percent — had no plans for when the GDPR comes into force on May 25, 2018, and less than one in three felt prepared.
As a professional in the privacy field, I’m an advocate of gaining a full understanding of regulations before planning begins. So with that in mind, let’s begin by recapping the key aspects of the GDPR.
