Are You Ready for GDPR?

The European Commissions’ regulation for data protection rules have been updated in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) with legislation coming into force on 25th May 2018 to all EU countries.

GDPR compliance represents the biggest shake up of data protection law in over 20 years. It will have a massive effect on UK organisations and will introduce greater regulation, control and governance over personal data.

The new data protection rules will create a harmonised framework and present a multitude of new compliance obligations around new consent rules, enhanced privacy rights of individuals, demands for privacy impact assessments to understand risk, and ‘privacy by design’ for all business operations and processes. New obligations for data transparency will also be introduced for confidentially breaches and new rights against the use of personal data with the right to be forgotten and data portability. As a result, we face far stricter rules for capturing, storing, processing and managing data.

All SAP systems such as SAP ERP, Business Intelligence (BI), CRM, HCM and other SAP applications need to be included in your GDPR preparation project. In order to comply, you will need a focused approach to managing, owning and processing data.

There is a lot of complexity and confusion about GDPR. As a trusted SAP advisor and full-service provider of SAP applications and analytics solutions, itelligence can provide clarity of thought and straightforward actions on what you should consider when embarking on your data compliance journey.
