GDPR Compliance
Ensure data protection compliance with automated GDPR monitoring, data mapping, consent tracking, and breach detection powered by Secure Raven.
What is GDPR?
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a comprehensive data protection law enacted by the European Union that took effect on May 25, 2018. It establishes strict requirements for how organizations collect, store, process, and share personal data of EU residents. The GDPR represents the most significant overhaul of data privacy regulations in two decades and has set the global benchmark for data protection legislation.
GDPR grants individuals powerful rights over their personal data, including the right of access, the right to rectification, the right to erasure (the "right to be forgotten"), the right to data portability, and the right to object to processing. Organizations must demonstrate lawful basis for processing, implement data protection by design and by default, and maintain detailed records of all processing activities.
The regulation applies to any organization worldwide that processes personal data of EU residents, regardless of where the organization is based. Non-compliance carries severe penalties of up to €20 million or 4% of annual global turnover, whichever is higher. This extraterritorial reach means that GDPR compliance is essential for virtually any organization with European customers, users, or employees.
