GDPR is based on the principle of good data governance. To achieve data privacy, organizations require ‘privacy by design’, ‘privacy by default’, and ‘accountability’.

Without undue delay and, where feasible, not later than 72 hours after having become aware of it.2

Any person who has suffered material or immaterial damage as a result of an infringement of the regulation shall have the right to receive compensation from the controller or processor for the damage suffered.3

Complying with GDPR

GDPR compliance involves many stakeholders across the organization. A new role imposed by GDPR, the Data Protection Officer (DPO) is required to work closely with all stakeholders. No single technology or process will deliver compliance across the three regulation pillars – legal and compliance, technology, and data.
