GDPR
General Data Protection RegulationData Ontology
W5’s Ontology that makes sense for your business and GDPR. In short, there are three pillars to surviving a successful audit, but more importantly teach you how to govern your ecosystem so the personal data that is so personal to our clients, stays that way.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (EU) is a regulation in EU law on data protection and privacy for all individuals within the European Union. It also addresses the export of personal data outside the EU. The GDPR aims primarily to give control to citizens and residents over their personal data and to simplify the regulatory environment for international business by unifying the regulation within the EU. It was adopted on 14 April 2016, and after a two-year transition period, became enforceable on 25 May 2018.
The GDPR replaces the 1995 Data Protection Directive. Because the GDPR is a regulation, not a directive, it does not require national governments to pass any enabling legislation and is directly binding and applicable.
GDPR is primarily used to monitor and enforce rules and procedures for:
- Business executives that need to identify and manage risk.
- Finance managers assigned to meet regulatory compliance requirements.
- Legal counsels grappling with discovery and records retention.
- IT directors managing software installations related to GRC projects across an organization.
- Marketing Departments wondering what effect this will have on processes.
A key challenge to GDPR will be knowing what data is where, and how the data is aligned with business and the business criticality metric for GDPR compliance.
