Europe’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is being enforced by EU member states’ privacy watchdogs on May 25. It gives Europeans a greater right to privacy, in part by holding organizations that store Europeans’ data to strict standards of accountability and transparency. The specific requirements imposed by GDPR vary and can differ based on industry and organizational size. Many organizations must also have in place a data privacy officer, in charge of their organization’s data privacy practices. For the first time, Europe also now has a mandatory breach reporting regulation.”]
