What Is GDPR And how does it keep you safe, How We Can Help?

Sue Hemmings

Updated: Jul 31, 2022



What is GDPR?

It applies to most organisations, businesses & governments. The chances are, that anyone collecting data from customers and users will need to comply with these laws to make sure client data is being protected. It was put into effect on the 25th of May 2018 and those who violate the regulations could be hit with heavy harsh fines.


Channel 4 has released a video on the importance of GDPR (General Data Protection Regulations) and what the regulations mean for us.


The UK government will bring the EU legislation into the UK regardless of how the Brexit deal pans out. UK data protection has come into effect, use this self-assessment checklist here by ICO to see if you comply with the regulations.


It has become extremely important to consider data protection as a key department in an organisation and even employ a Data protection manager or cyber security manager whose sole job would be to overlook the compliance of personal information.
