Why GDPR Compliance is Required The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a cornerstone of data privacy laws in the European Union, designed to safeguard personal data and enhance individual privacy rights. Any organization that processes data of EU citizens, regardless of its geographical location, must comply with GDPR. Non-compliance can lead to severe penalties, including fines up to €20 million or 4% of annual global turnover, whichever is higher.
Why GDPR Was Introduced GDPR was introduced to address growing concerns over data misuse, enhance transparency, and give individuals greater control over their personal data. It replaced the outdated Data Protection Directive and set a unified standard for data protection across the EU.
