Reliance Cyber, a leading data privacy and cybersecurity solutions provider, proudly announces the release of their groundbreaking report, “Five Years of GDPR: From Revolution to Evolution.”This in-depth report examines the impact, challenges, and advancements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the five years since its implementation.
As data breaches and privacy concerns continue to make headlines, organisations worldwide face the complexities of safeguarding personal information. The GDPR, a radical regulation that reshaped the data privacy landscape, has played a pivotal role in this journey. It introduced new obligations for organisations using personal data, enhanced individuals’ data rights, and set stricter requirements for accountability. It established a best-in-class framework emulated globally, ensuring data is processed with the highest standards of security, transparency, and lawfulness.
Since its introduction, significant developments have shaped the GDPR landscape, including record fines, businesses adapting to its requirements, clarifications from EU organisations, Brexit implications, and advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies. These factors have made GDPR increasingly relevant to the modern workplace.
