May 2018, when General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will come into force across Europe.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3 id=\"f49e\" class=\"graf graf--h3 graf-after--p\"><strong class=\"markup--strong markup--h3-strong\">What is it all\u00a0about?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p id=\"cb15\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--h3\">With a reported\u00a0<a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cbronline.com\/news\/verticals\/cio-agenda\/gdpr-brexit-leaving-eu-affects-uk-data-privacy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow noreferrer\" data-href=\"http:\/\/www.cbronline.com\/news\/verticals\/cio-agenda\/gdpr-brexit-leaving-eu-affects-uk-data-privacy\/\">76 percent\u00a0<\/a>of Europeans fearing that their data is unsafe in hands of private companies, the primary objectives of the GDPR are to give more control to citizens and residents over their personal data and to simplify the regulatory environment for international business by unifying the regulation within the EU\u200a\u2014\u200ait will supersede the 28 current national data protection laws based on the 1995 Data Protection Directive (DPD).<\/p>\n<p id=\"6cd7\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\">GDPR was fundamentally designed to protect individual EU citizens and their personal data held by third party organisations, help increase better management of data within organisations, and to standardise the term \u201cpersonal data\u201d across the 28 EU states. The definition of personal data has been widened to now encompass your computer\u2019s IP address, and your genetic data.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3 id=\"7657\" class=\"graf graf--h3 graf-after--p\"><strong class=\"markup--strong markup--h3-strong\">Why is it important?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p id=\"fd83\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--h3\">Preparation for GDPR is of the utmost importance as it is a fundamental requirement for\u00a0<strong class=\"markup--strong markup--p-strong\">all<\/strong>\u00a0organisations who manage not just personal data, but\u00a0<strong class=\"markup--strong markup--p-strong\">any<\/strong>\u00a03rd party data. It\u2019s unlikely that any organisation will remain unaffected; if you hold data on your employees in your HR department, your organisation will fall under the scope of GDPR; if you share data with other organisations (including third parties and cross-border), each party has an obligation to keep that data safe, verification may be required and contracts updated to reflect these accountabilities.<\/p>\n<p id=\"414b\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\">The implications of a data breach could result in heavy fines of either 4% of annual turnover or 20M Euros, whichever is greatest.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3 id=\"7d70\" class=\"graf graf--h3 graf-after--p\"><strong class=\"markup--strong markup--h3-strong\">What is a\u00a0breach?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p id=\"0fb1\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--h3\">Under the current data protection act a data breach is an incident in which sensitive, protected or confidential data has potentially been viewed, stolen or used by an individual unauthorised to do so. A breach could also be any form of data misuse; from data being corrupted, to data theft. An example is the case of the recent Wannacry ransomware virus outbreak where a large number of NHS records were altered, this would be deemed a data breach under new GDPR rulings. Data breaches may involve personal health information (PHI), personally identifiable information (PII), trade secrets or intellectual property.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3 id=\"a01d\" class=\"graf graf--h3 graf-after--p\"><strong class=\"markup--strong markup--h3-strong\">What do we need to do to get\u00a0ready?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p id=\"fd94\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--h3\">Many organisations are aware of GDPR, but still have difficulty determining what to do next.<\/p>\n<p id=\"8ad2\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\">As with many elements of cyber security, organisational and human factors are just as important as any technical barriers put in place to prevent an attack. GDPR confirms this, stating that to achieve compliance, organisations need to demonstrate that they put in place robust processes for regularly testing, assessing and evaluating effectiveness of not only technical measures but also organisational measures for ensuring data security.<\/p>\n<p id=\"db3a\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\">Meeting requirements will not be as simple as imposing new rules within an organisation, but rather will affect business operations down to core processes. Many organisations (public authorities and organisations that carry out \u201cregular and systematic monitoring of data subjects on a large scale\u201d or large-scale processing of \u201cspecial categories of personal data\u201d) will need to appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO), or body, to take responsibility for data protection compliance and assess where this role will sit within organisation structure and governance arrangements. According to a\u00a0<a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/iapp.org\/news\/a\/study-at-least-28000-dpos-needed-to-meet-gdpr-requirements\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow noreferrer\" data-href=\"https:\/\/iapp.org\/news\/a\/study-at-least-28000-dpos-needed-to-meet-gdpr-requirements\/\">study<\/a>\u00a0by International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP), this requirement means that in Europe alone, 28,000 DPOs will have to be appointed in next two years!<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3 id=\"fe57\" class=\"graf graf--h3 graf-after--p\"><strong class=\"markup--strong markup--h3-strong\">Expert resources will be key to driving these\u00a0changes<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p id=\"1238\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--h3\">It is expected that most private organisations will need to augment their existing compliance roles and responsibilities to fulfil GDPR roles.<\/p>\n<p id=\"60b4\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\">For public authorities and larger organisations, GDPR specifies that DPOs will need to be responsible for activities including monitoring compliance, educating staff on security and GDPR awareness and improving understanding of how to handle personal and sensitive data across the organisation.<\/p>\n<p id=\"8c97\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\">Starting with comprehensive data audit, there should be development &amp; enactment of of scenario based exercises, red teaming, advanced resilience testing based on both covert and overt scenarios, providing advice on privacy impact assessments and co-operating wherever necessary with relevant supervisory authorities.<\/p>\n<p id=\"69a4\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\">Clearly to do the above effectively, organisations will need to ensure that assigned DPOs and any other relevant resources are trained and expert in cyber security. GDPR compliance implies implementing Cyber Security Regulations, so the DPO will need to be up to speed with these and with broader organisational resilience. This will help to support data security, integrity and accessibility through disseminating cyber security best practice throughout your organisation.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3 id=\"18f7\" class=\"graf graf--h3 graf-after--p\"><strong class=\"markup--strong markup--h3-strong\">This sounds hard, doesn\u2019t Brexit get us out of\u00a0this?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p id=\"a160\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--h3\">Regardless of Brexit completion of Article 50, the UK will be fully subject to GDPR regulations.The GDPR will replace the UK\u2019s Data Protection Act 1998 from 25 May 2018 and the government has confirmed that the UK\u2019s decision to leave the EU will not change this.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3 id=\"fc40\" class=\"graf graf--h3 graf-after--p\"><strong class=\"markup--strong markup--h3-strong\">Are there any\u00a0<\/strong>silver\u00a0linings<strong class=\"markup--strong markup--h3-strong\">?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p id=\"7236\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--h3\">Interim consultants with compliance and data security expertise will be in high demand to support businesses, large and small, who will be seeking to reduce exposure under this new regulation.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4532\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\">More widely, the new regulation strengthens the rules around consumer consent, giving us all the right to withdraw consent at any point. Through \u201csubject access requests\u201d, we already have the right to see what personal data organisations hold on us\u00a0; we can also demand that such data be corrected or deleted.
