GDPR Compliance and Its Impact on Security and Data Protection Programs

Data classification is an important privacy enhancing technology as it helps organisations prevent against data breaches and demonstrate compliance. Conducted by Osterman Research and sponsored by Janusnet, this white paper analyses end user organisations and their preparedness for the implementation of GDPR. It also highlights the key factors that risk managers and IT security teams should be considering to comply with the GDPR.

Protecting personal data has been an important issue in the European Union (EU) for more than 20 years, and the recently ratified General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) takes data protection to an entirely new level.
