The implementation of General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is poised to
reshape the business mind-set related to data privacy and data protection
GDPR not only applies to all the organizations that exist or work in the Europe (EU),
but it also applies to other organizations that collect, monitor, or otherwise process
personal data of citizens belonging to the EU. In essence, the law applies to every
organization that handles the personal data of an EU citizen irrespective of its
location.
Personal data refers to the varied kind of information which can result (when
considered together) in the identification of a specific person. For instance, a name
and surname, photo, residential address data, location number, email ID, bank
details, etc. can enable the identification of the person to whom the data belongs.
Organizations that breach this regulation might have to pay 4 percent of their
annual turnover or an amount of €20 million, whichever is greater. There could be
a fine of 2 percent of the turnover or an amount of €10 million, if an organization
does not have its record in order or does not inform the data subjects and
concerned authorities about the breach or not performing an impact assessment.
Breaching data security obligations can cause lower-level penalties while flouting
personal level privacy can cause higher-level fines. These rules apply to both
processors and controllers. Further, Clouds are also covered by GDPR laws.
