Overview

General Data Regulation  GDPR

GDPR is a regulation that requires businesses to protect the personal data and privacy of EU citizens for transactions that occur within EU member states. And non-compliance could cost companies dearly. Here’s what every company that does business in Europe needs to know about GDPR.

What you will get :

  • Data Protection Compliance
  • Enhanced Data Privacy
  • Transparency and Accountability
  • Data Subject Rights
  • Lawful Processing
  • Consent Management

Companies that collect data on citizens in European Union (EU) countries need to comply with strict new rules around protecting customer data. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) sets a new standard for consumer rights regarding their data, but companies will be challenged as they put systems and processes in place to maintain compliance.
Compliance will cause some concerns and new expectations of security teams. For example, the GDPR takes a wide view of what constitutes personal identification information. Companies will need the same level of protection for things like an individual’s IP address or cookie data as they do for name, address and Social Security number.

What types of privacy data does the GDPR protect?

  • Basic identity information such as name, address and ID numbers
  • Web data such as location, IP address, cookie data and RFID tags
  • Health and genetic data
  • Biometric data
  • Racial or ethnic data
  • Political opinions
  • Sexual orientation


​Which companies does the GDPR affect?
Any company that stores or processes personal information about EU citizens within EU states must comply with the GDPR, even if they do not have a business presence within the EU. Specific criteria for companies required to comply are:

  • A presence in an EU country.
  • No presence in the EU, but it processes personal data of European residents.
  • More than 250 employees.
  • Fewer than 250 employees but its data-processing impacts the rights and freedoms of data subjects, is not occasional, or includes certain types of sensitive personal data. That effectively means almost all companies. 

Phases of GDPR Consulting Engagement

Below is a concise summary of the phases involved in achieving GDPR compliance.

Phase I -Understanding Business, and Personal Data Processing

During this phase, our objective is to comprehend and document the following:

  • The client’s business model, customer base, technology infrastructure, and data processing needs.
  • Identification of whether the client functions as a controller, processor, or both.
  • Determination of the legal basis for data processing activities.
  • Through this process, we ascertain the relevant GDPR requirements applicable to the client’s operations.

Phase II – Gap Analysis and Risk Assessment

  • In this phase, THI’s GDPR consultants perform privacy impact assessments (PIAs) and security risk assessments.
  • These assessments cover the lifecycle of personally identifiable information (PII), business processes, and technology infrastructure.
  • Additionally, GDPR consultants identify gaps and provide detailed recommendations for closing them.

Phase III – GDPR Implementation

  • The central aspect of GDPR implementation is ‘privacy by design’.
  • Privacy by Design prioritizes the consideration of data subjects in all future data processing decisions.
  • Depending on the client’s environment, THI’s GDPR Consultants suggest adjustments to the governance strategy to mitigate privacy breaches.
  • During this phase, THI’s GDPR Implementation Consultants draft documentation for over 15 policies and procedures.
  • These documents are discussed with organizational stakeholders to ensure alignment with GDPR legal controls and policies.
  • Risks identified in the gap analysis are deliberated upon and tracked until closure.

Phase IV – Training & Brainstorming Sessions

  • Training staff involved in GDPR operations is essential for successful implementation.
  • Trojan Hunt India consultants provide a combination of training sessions tailored to the audience.
  • Training includes awareness, risk management, and legal interpretation.
  • The combination of training aims to enhance understanding and compliance with GDPR regulations.

Phase V – Measurement of Controls including Internal Audi

After completing the implementation phase, THI conducts monthly tests of controls to verify the effectiveness of the designed controls.

  • These tests cover all applicable GDPR requirements or implemented policies.
  • A formal report is generated for the management team to assess the overall effectiveness of the program, focusing on newly developed and implemented security controls and practices.

Summary

At this point:

  • Through preceding phases, THI aids clients in establishing a robust GDPR governance program encompassing people, processes, technology, and continuous measurements.
  • Each GDPR requirement is addressed through a combination of policies, procedures, responsibilities, reports, records, technology, and automation.
  • The client develops an annual task plan to demonstrate ongoing commitment.
  • With all aspects of GDPR compliance fulfilled, the client can assert GDPR compliance.
  • GDPR compliance is not merely a project but an ongoing governance program. THI’s GDPR Compliance Consultants assist clients in designing and ensuring visibility of program metrics for the future.

Data minimization

The quantity of data gathered is restricted to that which is required for specialized processing.

04
