Home / Data Protection / GDPR Compliance Training
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into force across the Europepean Union (EU) in May of 2018. After the UK split from the rest of the EU, the GDPR became UK GDPR. This is remains closely aligned with the EU version and also the Data Protection Act 2018 (which was the enacted version of the GDPR into UK law).
The UK GDPR basically continues with the core principles of data protection as stated in the EU version. The legislation applies to all organisations (large and small) who process personal identifiable information (PII) of living individuals.
There are are large number of articles within the legislation that apply. All of the applicable articles need to be complied with.
Details can be found here.
The penalties for non-compliance are very severe, £17.5 million or 4% of the organisations global turnover, whichever is the higher.
That said, complying with this legislation is mandatory and is normally part of due-diligence requirements when bidding for new business or other related procurement activities.
The Information Commissioner (UK regulator) is also responsible for actively auditing organisations and taking regulatory action if they find them to be not compliant.
Details of the latest enforcement action can be found here.
