Keys to Delivering Effective Data Privacy Compliance

Abstract

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is taking shape across the European Union with the aim of improving data protection compliance across Europe. This article will address the role of GDPR, in force since May 2018, in data protection as well as its ability to harmonize pre-existent data protection laws across Europe. This article highlights also the role of data protection officers, who are key-players to the enforcement of the new GDPR, and their legal obligations.
