The New Requirements of The EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 GDPR

Summary/Abstract: After 2 years since The General Data Protection Regulation entered in force, we finally face the day when it starts to apply. May 25, 2018 is the "Z" day regarding Data Protection Laws and Practices. The necessity of this regulation is obvious and addresses both the data processed within European Union and the data transfers outside the European Economic Area. GDPR extends the scope of EU data protection law to all foreign companies processing data of EU residents. The regulations highlight the following key requirements: scope, single set of rules, responsibility and accountability, lawful basis for processing, consent, data protection officer, pseudonymization and anonymization, data breaches and sanctions. The primary objective of the GDPR is to give citizens back control of their personal data. Since the GDPR started to apply it was necessary to harmonize previous and other data protection regulations throughout the EU. This EU compliance regulation will have a far reaching impact for organizations throughout the world.
