General Data Protection Regulation
Backed by fines of up to €20 million or 4% of global revenue, whichever is higher, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) gives EU residents new, expanded rights over their personal data.
Avoid concerns about non-compliance and financial penalties – get EY to GDPR certify your company.

What EY can do for you
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a global game changer. No organization storing or processing the personal data of EU residents can afford to be complacent, regardless of its location or current privacy maturity level.
GDPR highlights:
- Organizations will have only 72 hours to report data breaches
- Privacy-by-design principles must be incorporated into the development of new processes and technologies
- Explicit and affirmative consent might be required before processing personal data
- Most organizations will need to designate an internal or external data protection officer
- Organizations will have to maintain records of processing activities
- Organizations will need to scale security measures based on privacy risks
- International transfers are subject to specific requirements and mechanisms
- Organizations will report to one supervisory authority
- Organizations will need to have an effective data retention mechanism in place.
When the steep financial penalties for noncompliance and data losses are added to the cost of reputational damage, sanctions, remediation and the potential impact on digital transformation, the risk of inaction is clear.
