Three Years Later: Tips for Sustaining GDPR Compliance
Since the start of the pandemic, the new way of working has resulted in many people becoming more dependent on connecting online in remote settings than ever before. This shift has resulted in a significant increase in cyber breaches.
The European Union (EU) implemented the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in May 2018 to regulate the handling of personal data for all EU citizens.
