On May 25th the new GDPR regulations come into force in the UK.
These regulations apply to every organisation big and small that process personal information in any way. From HR records to Marketing lists, from customer records to internal IT Systems.
GDPR will replace the existing Data Protection Act bringing new rights for the people you hold information about and new responsibilities for organisations that process that information.
GDPR also brings greatly increased penalties for breaching its regulations. A buisiness can be fined upto €20,000,000 or upto 4% of the worldwide annual turnover, whatever is the largest.
Simplisys has been researching the impact of GDPR and developed a set of papers breaking down the GDPR into easy to digest topics and have developed a toolkit to help enable organisations move towards fulfilling their obligations under the new regulations.
