Wherever you live, wherever you work, whatever jurisdiction governs the laws under which you operate, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is going to affect you if you hold, carry or access European personal data.
If found in breach, you face fines of up to €20 million or 4% of global annual turnover for the preceding financial year, whichever is the greater.
With just 365 days to go before the GDPR comes into effect, today’s BONG! is a GDPR special from the BONG! archives. If you think a spreadsheet is the answer to compliance you are in for a very bumpy ride. Plus you’ll be handing hackers a treasure map of all your confidential and sensitive personal and business data.
Contact me if you’d like to know more about trust-hub, a unique simple, secure and visual tool to help you get on top of what you need to do before 25 May 2018, and to keep you on top of it for the future. Compliance is not a destination, it’s a journey. Turn the challenge of data protection and compliance into a commercial advantage.

By the way, we have noticed that sometimes the links we compile above have registration/paywall information inserted between the referenced site and you. At the time we compose these emails there are no such distractions so we can only assume sites randomly impose registration/payment requirements on links to them. We apologise in advance as our intention is to give you all untrammelled access to this information.
(Incidentally, and for those outside the UK (or in the UK but without televisions), BONG! is a reference to the main evening TV news in the UK, on which headlines are read out between strikes (bongs) of the now-silent Big Ben, the bell in the Elizabeth Tower (renamed from the Clock Tower in honour of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee) at the Palace of Westminster. You can thank a particularly persistent pedant early on in the life of the BONG! for this rather precise explanation.)
