‘For Your Own Protection’ Cyber Insights for 18th January from The National Cyber Skills Centre
Who is your DPO? Come May 2018 and the introduction of GDPR you are going to need one.
If you are a business owner, a board member, an HR professional or an IT manager can I ask you to do just one thing before the end of the day? Just put a note in your diary for Friday 25th May 2018 and label it ‘GDPR Day’.
If you are not aware of what I’m talking about, GDPR, The General Data Protection Register, is a regulation by which the European Parliament, the European Council and the European Commission intend to strengthen and unify data protection for individuals within the European Union (EU). It also addresses export of personal data outside the EU. I can already hear you turning off and going back to your emails or other more pressing business matters.
…and that’s ok, because if you employ a Data Protection Officer (DPO) in the next few months, their role is going to ensure that you are compliant and in a fit state to meet the requirements of the GDPR come that Friday in May 2018.
