GDPR Compliance
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the core EU privacy law that sets strict rules for how organizations collect, use, store, and share personal data. GDPR compliance means putting the right governance, processes, and controls in place to protect individuals’ data rights and demonstrate accountability.
Who Needs GDPR Compliance
- Companies offering products or services to people in the EU/EEA, even if the company is based elsewhere
- Online platforms, SaaS providers, and apps that collect or track user data from EU/EEA residents
- E-commerce businesses processing customer and payment information from the EU/EEA
- Professional services (legal, accounting, consulting) handling client personal data
- Any organization acting as a data processor for EU/EEA customers or partners
Risks of Not Being Compliant
- Regulatory fines that can reach up to 4% of global annual turnover or €20M, whichever is higher
- Investigations, audits, and mandatory corrective actions from supervisory authorities
- Legal claims from individuals whose data rights are violated
- Loss of customer trust and damage to brand reputation
- Contractual issues and lost business where GDPR compliance is a requirement
