GDPR Compliance
What is GDPR?
General Data Protection Regulation is an EU data protection regulation, which introduced a series of ‘data subject’ rights in 2018 to ensure that all EU residents have control over their personal data.
Even if you are an organisation operating outside of the EU, the GDPR still provides the gold standard of data protection legislation which your EU based clients will expect you to adhere to.
These rights include being able to obtain easily accessible information in plain language about the use of personal data and the personal data itself, ordering the alteration or deletion of incorrect personal data, the ability to restrict or object to the processing of personal data and more.
Why do I need to comply?
Any EU companies that do not comply with the new regulations and suffer data breaches will be subject to massive fines of up to 4% of annual global turnover or €20 million, whichever is greater.
Companies operating outside of the EU will face massive reputational damage and great financial loss as customers lose faith and migrate to a rival who can protect their sensitive data.
Therefore, in the face of this potential financial penalty, and considering the risk to your reputation that non-compliance holds, GDPR compliance is essential. The easiest and surest way of doing this is by employing the help of a GDPR consultancy firm, like Southwood.
What will we do?
We’ll assess your business’s IT systems and procedures, measuring it against the demands of these new data protection requirements and work alongside you as an extension of your business to fill in the gaps.
From helping you to review and assess your existing systems through to improving your cybersecurity systems and IT infrastructure, we’ll put together a bespoke action plan and be with you every step of the way.
Project Management & Business Analysis
Building agility into organisational culture is key to creating sustainable change management.
We help our clients identify and institute key elements of change; sponsorship,communication, governance, execution, and feedback and then we provide them with the tools to independently repeat success.
