Top 10 GDPR Frameworks

2018 01 16 Top10GDPRFrameBlogImage

The EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has been called the largest change to data protections in a generation. It is causing major disruption to how companies manage customer data in — and outside of — the EU. Not only is the new legislation incredibly far reaching, it is also lengthy and complex.

We’ve curated the top 10 GDPR frameworks to organize your efforts to comply with GDPR requirements.Your first question – does this apply to me?

If you are keeping personal data on European citizens (including emails), you are subject to these regulations. If you fail to comply by May 25, 2018, the penalties are up to €20m (or more for companies over €500m total revenue).

Do we have your attention? Good! Now, how do you begin familiarizing yourself with the regulations of the GDPR? Though there are many resources available, finding the right GDPR framework can be a challenge. In fact, a simple framework can be the most difficult to develop.In last week’s post, we curated the Top 10 GDPR Guides. Here we take a different angle, compiling the top 10 GDPR frameworks to help guide your GDPR compliance efforts. Each provides a unique perspective on how to approach the GDPR. Perhaps a single framework will speak to you, or you will find that together, they provide an overarching perspective on how to navigate your path to GDPR compliance.
