There is therefore little time left to implement the new regulations by adapting the existing data protection system in your company or by building a completely new system that will be compatible with GDPR i.e. with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive (General Data Protection Regulation).
