Changes the GDPR Introduces to Organizations Operating in the EU

One of the key aspects of the GDPR is that it creates consistency across EU member states on how personal data can be processed, used, and exchanged securely. Organizations must demonstrate the security of the data they are processing and their compliance with the GDPR on a continual basis, by implementing and regularly reviewing technical and organizational measures, as well as compliance policies applicable to the processing of personal data. EU supervisory authorities can issue fines of up to EUR 20 million, or 4% of annual worldwide turnover, whichever is higher, for a breach of the GDPR.
