The GDPR is a European regulation which applies directly to all Member States from May 25, 2018. Companies must therefore comply with it on this date under penalty of penalty.
Thus, in the event of control by a regulatory authority such as the CNIL, the shortcomings observed within the company can lead to a significant fine, which can go up to 4% of world turnover. This is why it is important to study GDPR compliance now to better prepare for it by taking the appropriate measures.
