Understanding Data Protection And GDPR
Data protection refers to safeguarding sensitive information from unauthorised access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Failing to adhere to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) carries severe consequences. Under GDPR, organisations can face fines reaching up to 4% of their annual global turnover or €20 million, whichever is higher. These financial repercussions can cripple businesses, especially large multinational corporations.
Beyond monetary penalties, GDPR non-compliance tarnishes an organisation’s reputation. Mishandling personal data erodes trust among customers and clients. Legal action is also possible, with individuals having the right to sue for damages. Investigations and audits by data protection authorities are likely, causing disruption and added costs.
Failure to comply can lead to lost business opportunities, as partners and clients may shy away due to data security concerns. Operational changes, customer loss, and global ramifications may further impact organisations. To avoid these consequences, businesses must prioritise GDPR compliance, and implement robust data protection measures and policies.
