This legislation was enacted in October 1995, when e-commerce was just beginning to develop. In 2012, the Council of the European Union started discussions regarding strengthening data privacy laws. This move came in response to the increasing number of data breaches worldwide and the criticism of corporations for their poor management of user data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>EU leaders aimed to introduce a regulation that would bring consistency to privacy laws across member states, while addressing the ways modern businesses store, collect, and transfer personal data. After nearly four years of development, the EU finalized the GDPR and obliged the entities it concerned to comply with its requirements by May 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2  class=\"wp-block-heading\">What data does the GDPR protect?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The types of data GDPR protects:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"mb-3\"><strong>Personal data<\/strong> \u2014 Any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes direct identifiers, such as a name, identification number, location data, an online identifier, or one or more factors specific to that natural person&#8217;s physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Special categories of personal data<\/strong> \u2014 Data that require additional protection under GDPR due to their sensitivity. This includes information about a person\u2019s racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, genetic data, biometric data used for identification, health information, sex life, or sexual orientation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2  class=\"wp-block-heading\">Core principles of the GDPR<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The GDPR is built upon a set of key principles designed to protect individual&#8217;s personal data and ensure its responsible use. The principles are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"mb-3\"><strong>Lawfulness, fairness, and transparency<\/strong> \u2014 Organizations must process personal data lawfully and fairly, while providing individuals with full transparency about how their data is collected, used, and shared.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"mb-3\"><strong>Purpose limitation<\/strong> \u2014 Organizations can only collect data that serves specific, lawful purposes, and any further processing must remain consistent with those initial objectives.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"mb-3\"><strong>Data minimization<\/strong> \u2014 Organizations must ensure that only essential data required for specific purposes is obtained, avoiding the collection of any unnecessary or irrelevant information.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"mb-3\"><strong>Accuracy<\/strong> \u2014 Organizations are responsible for maintaining the accuracy of personal data and must swiftly correct any mistakes or outdated information.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"mb-3\"><strong>Storage limitation<\/strong> \u2014 Organizations must keep the data only for the time required to fulfill its intended purpose, after which they should delete it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"mb-3\"><strong>Integrity and confidentiality<\/strong> \u2014 Organizations are responsible for safeguarding personal data by employing effective measures to prevent unauthorized access, tampering, loss, or damage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Accountability<\/strong> \u2014 Organizations are accountable for complying with the GDPR\u2019s principles and demonstrating compliance through appropriate documentation and audits.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>These principles serve as the foundation for compliant data processing activities within the EU and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2  class=\"wp-block-heading\">What if you don&#8217;t comply?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First of all, you need to understand if the GDPR affects your organization. Basically, your organization is obliged to comply with the GDPR if it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Operates in any EU member country.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Processes the personal data of individuals located in the EU, regardless of the organization&#8217;s location.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For the full list of countries covered by the GPDR, refer to <a href=\"\/en\/blog\/how-to-prepare-for-gdpr#id-who-must-comply-with-the-gdpr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">this dedicated article<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your organization falls within the scope of the GDPR but you fail to comply with its requirements, you can face significant penalties.

class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Know what data you collect<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Start by identifying the personal data your organization collects. Inventory all types, from customer data to employee information, and map out where it&#8217;s stored and how it\u2019s processed. Classify data according to how sensitive it is and how easy it is to identify an individual with that information. Mapping and classification will make it easier to define what measures you should use to safeguard specific types of data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Involve all stakeholders<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Engage all departments across your organization, from IT and legal to marketing and human resources, in your GDPR compliance efforts. By fostering a culture of data protection awareness, you ensure that everyone understands their team\u2019s role in maintaining GDPR compliance so no sensitive personal information is overlooked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Appoint a DPO<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Appoint an existing employee or hire someone from outside the organization to be your data protection officer (DPO). The DPO\u2019s role is to ensure that your organization processes the personal data of staff, customers, service providers, and other individuals in compliance with the relevant data protection rules. Even if appointing a DPO is not mandatory for your organization, consider doing it to strengthen your <a href=\"\/en\/blog\/data-security-best-practices\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">data protection<\/a> strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Assess risks regularly<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Regular <a href=\"\/en\/blog\/how-to-perform-a-cybersecurity-risk-assessment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">risk assessments<\/a> can help you identify potential vulnerabilities that may compromise data security. Evaluate your data processing activities, systems, and supply chain to spot any weak points in your data protection framework. This will help you identify and address gaps in data security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Create a data protection plan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Develop a comprehensive document that describes how your organization handles personal data, including collection, processing, storage, and deletion practices. Specify the measures your organization takes or will take to secure data. Regularly update this plan to reflect changes to your data processing methods and updates to <a href=\"\/en\/solutions\/meeting-compliance-requirements\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">regulatory requirements<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Adopt proper data security measures<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ensure that your organization has both the technical and organizational safeguards in place to implement your data protection plan. Apply robust security measures like <a href=\"\/en\/two-factor-authentication-tool\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">multi-factor authentication<\/a>, <a href=\"\/en\/product\/privileged-access-management\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">access management<\/a>, <a href=\"\/en\/product\/user-activity-monitoring\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">user activity monitoring<\/a>, data encryption, firewalls, and data backups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Document compliance actions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep meticulous records of the actions&nbsp; your organization takes to ensure GDPR compliance. Keep track of data flows throughout your organization, the results of risk assessments, the security measures you implement, and the staff training you provide. Well-maintained documentation helps you prove your compliance strategies during audits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Plan for incident response<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A well-prepared <a href=\"\/en\/blog\/real-life-examples-insider-threat-caused-breaches\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">incident response plan<\/a> enables you to quickly and efficiently address any <a href=\"\/en\/blog\/real-life-examples-insider-threat-caused-breaches\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">data breach<\/a>. This plan should outline the required steps to detect, contain, and mitigate cybersecurity incidents while ensuring communication with relevant stakeholders. A clear response plan can help prevent small incidents from escalating and ensure your organization manages breaches according to GDPR requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Report data breaches on time<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Under the GDPR, your organization is required to report any data breach to the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours after identifying it. In your report, outline the details of the data breach, including the estimated number of personal records affected, the potential impact, and the steps you\u2019re taking to mitigate the consequences. Additionally, provide contact information for your DPO or a qualified representative who can provide more details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Syteca<\/a> is a cybersecurity platform that can help you <a href=\"\/en\/solutions\/meeting-compliance-requirements\/gdpr-compliance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">streamline GDPR compliance<\/a> by enabling you to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Protect sensitive data by managing <a href=\"\/en\/product\/privileged-access-management\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">access to critical endpoints<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Monitor how <a href=\"\/en\/product\/user-activity-monitoring\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">employees<\/a> and <a href=\"\/en\/solutions\/third-party-vendor-monitoring\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">third parties<\/a> process sensitive personal data<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Swiftly <a href=\"\/en\/product\/alerts-and-notifications\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">detect and respond to security threats<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"\/en\/user-privacy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pseudonymize<\/a> the personal data of your employees<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\t\t<div  class=\"block-d78cf06f-ffc8-45cf-adf5-783af40c5752 areoi-element container pattern-request-demo-2 rounded-bg-13px\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"areoi-background  \">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container-fluid\" style=\"padding: 0;\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row justify-content-start\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col \">\n\t\t\t            <div class=\"areoi-background__color\" \n\t                        \tstyle=\"background: rgba(71, 144, 235,0.15)\">\n\t                        <\/div>\n\n\t                    \n\n\t                    \n\n\t                    \n\t    \t\t\t<\/div>\n\t    \t\t<\/div>\n\t    \t<\/div>\n\t    <\/div>\n\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<div  class=\"block-5b9d035f-cdf4-4208-9904-14ca9b9c92d9 row areoi-element align-items-center row-cols-md-2\">\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<div  class=\"block-9e962fe6-f77f-40f9-898c-abaef3f48ccb col areoi-element d-flex flex-wrap flex-column align-items-center align-items-md-start col-md-6\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left p-poppins pt-3 text-center text-md-start lh-sm has-text-color\" style=\"color:#1a3b4e;font-size:1.75rem;font-style:normal;font-weight:600\">Want to try Syteca?
