Since May 2018, the European Union has adopted a wide and sufficiently stringent regulation on the protection and security of personal data for all natural persons within its borders and in the European Economic Area. The so-called GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) is the guide for the protection of such data and its aim is to simplify the legislative framework for international companies and EU citizens. of the EU.
All natural and legal persons within its scope must comply, otherwise strict and high fines are imposed. Now, any company that processes personal data relating to individuals within the EU is required to be in line with the new regulation, reviewing all information management procedures.
The instructions are clear as to their coding to prevent identification and database association. Our special team of collaborators consists of consultants with rich experience and certifications on IT and legislation issues, information systems and networks engineers and legal advisers with knowledge of the relevant regulatory and legal framework.
