What is the GDPR?
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which provides guidance on how EU organizations should store customer data and, more significantly, respond in the event of a data breach, went into effect on May 25, 2018.
GDPR compliance requires organizations to have visibility into what data they possess, and where it is located. This remains a challenge for many organizations who don’t yet have solutions in place to understand where their data lives and what it contains. Ultimately, many organizations still aren’t sure where to start, and are worried that these solutions will affect workflow productivity. However, not complying with GDPR could expose organizations to significant risks – fines, negative PR, drops in stock prices, and more. All compelling reasons to find a solution that works
