81% of all businesses will not be GDPR compliant by May 2018.
Does this mean that GDPR compliance gives you the unique selling point that other companies can’t offer their customers?
More importantly, will a penalty-free business attract new customers?
If you don't know what GDPR is, it's new legislation that replaces the Data Protection Directive. It becomes enforceable by May 25th 2018 and is developed by the Council of the European Union, the European Parliament, and the European Commission with the aim to:
- Strengthen and unify data protection for all EU citizens
- Give back control over personal data to EU citizens and residents
- Create new “digital rights” for EU citizens - Simplify and unify regulation within the EU
- Make it easier for non-EU countries to comply with their regulations
Unlike a directive, GDPR does not require national governments to pass any enabling legislation and is directly binding and applicable to any business that stores EU citizen data (even if the data is not collected or stored on a server located in the EU).
A single set of rules will apply to all EU member states. Each member state will establish an independent Supervisory Authority (SA) to listen to and investigate complaints, sanctions and administrative offenses.
There will be steeper financial consequences if a company’s online security is breached and has it’s data leaked online. This penalty will be up to 20-million Euros or 4% of global turnover (whichever is greater).
The video above will run you through everything you need to know about GDPR and how to be GDPR compliant.

Looking forward to hearing what you think about GDPR and any benefits to your business (besides avoiding hefty fines).
I like the video and the voiceover accent :)

Ha! That would be my Scottish accent :-) Thanks for the kind comments. Really appreciated.
Sure, real refreshment :)
I expected something like 99% of all businesses not being GDPR compliant so I'm surprised by this figure.

In the UK, if you want to go after government contracts then you need to be Cyber Essentials certified. That makes things slightly more complicated.
The most surprising thing is that despite companies working hard to be compliant, it's costing them a fortune to do it.
When you actually break down what it is that you need to be compliant, then it's pretty basic stuff to combat the most common types of cyber attacks.
Things like updating your computer, have a firewall etc.
