The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a framework for data protection and privacy in the European Union. It aims to give individuals control over their personal data.
GDPR mandates that organizations must process personal data lawfully, transparently, and for specific purposes.
Organizations must adopt strong data security measures, conduct regular audits, and maintain transparent data handling practices.
Many businesses are required to appoint a DPO responsible for monitoring compliance and serving as a point of contact for data protection issues.
Understanding and implementing GDPR is crucial for businesses handling personal data in the digital age.
