The short answer is: if your organization store, process or share EU citizens’ personal data, GDPR rules will apply to you.

In a recent survey, 94% of large American companies say they possess EU customer data that will fall under the regulations, with only 60% of respondents that have plans in place to respond to the impact the GDPR will have on how they handle customer data.

Yes, GDPR isn’t light reading, but in this podcast we’ve found a way to simplify the GDPR’s key requirements so that you’ll get a high level sense of what you’ll need to do to become compliant.

We also discuss the promise and challenges of what GDPR can bring – changes to how consumers relate to data as well as how IT will manage consumer data.

After the podcast, you might want to check out the free 7-part video course we developed with Troy Hunt on the new European General Data Protection Regulation that will tell you: What are the requirements? Who will be affected? How does this help protect personal data?
