The impact of GDPR one year on

Abstract

The one-year anniversary since the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into effect has recently passed (25 May 2019). During the past year or so, Data Protection Authorities (DPAs) across different countries have worked diligently to enforce compliance and ensure that the core principles at the heart of the GDPR are met – namely responsible and transparent handling and protection of individuals’ personal data. Data Protection Authorities (DPAs) across Europe have worked diligently to enforce compliance and ensure that the core principles at the heart of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) are met. Meanwhile, organisations have worked to ensure compliance. Paul Breitbarth of Nymity looks at what has been learned in the past year. How have businesses responded? Has the GDPR impacted other national data protection regulations? And what impact will the UK's impending exit from the European Union (EU) have on regulatory compliance and data flows?
