YOU HAVE TO COMPLY WITH THE EU GDPR BY MAY 2018

It is a new regulation aimed at 

strengthening

 data protection rights 

for individuals within the EU. It will 

give the authorities greater powers 

to take action against businesses that 

breach the new laws. 

The regulation also applies to

of individuals within the EU.

Data security is about keeping data safe. Many individuals, small business 
and major companies rely heavily on their computer systems on a daily basis. 
But what happens if the data on these computer systems is damaged, lost 
or stolen? Could you afford to lose your important fi les, or worse still, your 
client, customer or employee data!

Data loss can occur in many ways. It could be lost or damaged during a 
system crash, corrupted through faulty hardware, viruses or power failure, 
hacked into by unauthorised users, destroyed by acts of terrorism, or simply 
lost through accidental fi le deletion, overwriting or maybe even left on a 
mode of transport during travel. However, there are plenty of actions you can 
take to ensure you or your business don’t become victims of data loss.

So how can you do this? Ensure you make regular backups of your data and 
store them in a separate location. Run anti-virus software on your computer 
hardware. Use passwords and write-protect fi les. Perhaps the most important 
measure you can take, is to ensure any devices you use to transport data, 

such as USB and hard drives, have fi le encryption capabilities. Check out 
some of the portable devices on pages 428-430 which all have fi le and 
folder encryption software for ultimate protection.

If data protection wasn't already a hot topic, it now has the potential to 
impact businesses unaware of the new rules that come into force next year. 
Companies of all sizes need to put personal data protection high up on their 
to-do lists in advance of the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) 
that come into effect on May 25

th

 2018.

From May 2018 onwards, any breaches of the new GDPR regulations 
will see companies pay fi nes of up to €20 million or 4% of their annual 
global revenue, whichever is greater. This means that from 2018 onwards, 
companies should implement suitable policies and security measures to 
protect their client, customer and employees personal data.
