  Prepare your business for the EU General Data Protection Regulation

  3-5.30pm
  

  The Dean Hotel, 33 Harcourt Street, Dublin

  
  

  After years of discussion, the European Parliament adopted the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) on April 14, 2016. But now that the legislation is agreed, the compliance countdown begins. What does this mean for your business? Where should you start?

  The new GDPR will bring major changes to data security, particularly appoint a Data Controller, carry out risk assessments, implement data protection by design, implement appropriate systems to minimise risk, notify authorities within 72 hrs of a breach and most importantly understand where all the subjects person data resides and protect accordingly.

  The potential risks to organisations for non-compliance include fines of up to 4% of Global Turnover or €20M.

  While it will take time for the EU GDPR to come into full effect, organisations need to start preparing now as they will need to be fully compliant by May 2018.

  Join Zinopy and a panel of experts at The Dean Hotel in Dublin followed by evening drinks, BBQ and networking on the Terrace.

  You will gain essential insights into the main provisions of the Regulation, practical guidance to help organisations start to prepare for the EU GDPR and what they can do on the ground to improve data governance, reduce the risk of data loss and lower compliance costs.

  Highlights:

  • What you need to know about EU GDPR
  • Key changes and impact for Irish organisations

  • Key legal implications of the GDPR
