EU GDPR Data Breach Notification Law and Guidelines
Overview
The sweeping European Union General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR) covers any company offering “goods and services” or monitoring behavior of individuals in the EU—even if the company has no physical presence in Europe. With companies facing potential fines of up to 20 million euros or 4 percent of annual revenue, GDPR has caught the attention of boards and C-suites worldwide. Because GDPR also requires notification of EU regulators within 72 hours of discovery of a data breach, the EU GDPR Data Breach Notification Law and Guidelines report was created to help companies be GDPR-compliant.
