EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR): An implementation and compliance guide

An in-depth guide to complying with the EU GDPR.

Now in its second edition, EU GDPR - An Implementation and Compliance Guide is a clear and comprehensive guide to this new data protection law, providing a detailed commentary on the Regulation, and setting out the obligations of data
processors and controllers in clear and comprehensible terms.

Read this book to learn:

• How the GDPR differs from the 1995 EU Data Protection Directive (DPD).
• How the Regulation relates to your organisation and how to adjust your processes to comply with it.
• The best way of avoiding "effective, proportionate and dissuasive" fines.

New for the second edition:

• Additional definitions and a new implementation FAQ.
• Further guidance on data protection impact assessments (DPIAs), subject access requests (SARs) and the role of the data protection officer (DPO).
• Clarification of consent and the alternative lawful bases for processing personal data.

All organisations - wherever they are in the world - that process the personal data of EU residents must comply with the Regulation. Failure to do so could cost them up to 20 million or 4% of annual global turnover in fines.

The GDPR will have a significant impact on data protection regimes around the world. This book shows you exactly what you need to do to comply.
