Don't just prepare for GDPR, embrace it!

With the GDPR deadline of May 2018 approaching, many organizations are preparing simply because they are required to. But those who "embrace GDPR compliance will have a great opportunity to advance their business", according to Elena Elkina, Partner and Co-Founder of Aleada Consulting.

 

This month's Modern Workplace episode focuses on GDPR's impact, where compliance experts Elkina and David Kemp of Micro Focus discuss the challenges of GDPR compliance, along with answering how and why it's important to be ready. The experts discuss the effects of GDPR on data privacy, ethics, and its business impact. Kemp highlights his 5 steps on how to get started with GDPR compliance.

  • Create a steering committee
  • Appoint a data protection officer, if required
  • Get a legal opinion
  • Do data discovery
  • Perform a risk and gap analysis

Plus a hands-on demo of Office 365 Message Encryption to help organizations protect their sensitive emails. Watch now and understand how you can be better prepared for GDPR compliance.

  • Hi Susan,

     

    Thanks for highlighting the benefits of embracing GDPR (and other regulations).

     

    At RequirementONE we have built a platform (deployed in Azure) that helps organizations review regulations, collaborate and orchestrate associated activities that are required to satisfy regulators and auditors (including the deployment of point solutions such as mentioned above). We are template driven (regulations, policies, governance frameworks, requirement management) and users can be up and running quickly to address what matters. We will be happy to go in to more detail and discuss how we can help embrace GDPR.
