Are you ready for GDPR? The General Data Protection Regulation to protect EU citizens’ data privacy comes into effect on Friday 25th May. The new regulation will impact all companies and organisations holding personal data on EU citizens and heralds sweeping changes to the treatment of personal information across the region. On Tuesday 27th March our members attended a breakfast conference on GDPR organised by NetworkIrlande in partnership with Grant Thornton Société d’Avocats.
Nicolas Rémy-Néris, Directeur, Avocat, Correspondant informatique et Libertés, and Oriana Labruyère, Avocat, gave an overview of the GDPR regulation, its implications for the business community and presented information on the measures to be considered (and avoided) by companies when putting processes in place to comply with the regulation.
With 92% of European companies having been subjected to cyber-attacks in the last five years public attention is becoming increasingly focused on how companies are storing and using personal data. Richard Dujardin, President of NetworkIrlande, thanked Grant Thornton Société d’Avocats for its communication of this important and useful information to members, saying that the event was timely and relevant in light of recent major data breaches affecting millions of people worldwide.
For further information on how Grant Thornton Société d’Avocats can help you and your business prepare for GDPR please contact Mme Oriana Labruyère OLabruyere@avocats-gt.com
NetworkIrlande thanks Grant Thornton Société d’Avocats for its support on this occasion.
