GDPR: Make your employees aware of this new regulation

**May 25 is tomorrow! Do you know the goals? **

The GDPR or European Data Protection Regulation comes into force on 25 May 2018. This reform on the protection of personal data has 3 main objectives:

• Improving the protection of European citizens
• Strengthen the accountability of companies and their employees
• Establish a single legal framework on the European territory

**Big Data revolution, where are we? **

Today, data is at the center of all current thinking and debate, it represents an intangible asset of the company that must be protected and preserved. Our personal data is of real value to businesses. The exploitation of these data has taken on enormous proportions, at the economic, strategic, political and social levels.

**Training your employees on GDPR is a key issue! **

Le respect de cette nouvelle réglementation implique, pour les entreprises, une adaptation profonde de leurs outils, de leurs méthodes & processus et de leur culture en matière de protection des données personnelles. Elles devront être en mesure de garantir la sécurité d’accès, la portabilité ainsi que la traçabilité des informations. Cela doit se traduire par le déploiement d’un dispositif de conformité commun, et notamment par la sensibilisation au sujet puisque le RGPD induit une obligation de formation de « tous salariés traitant des données personnelles » dans les entreprises. C’est-à-dire la grande majorité des salariés.

Possible strong sanctions

The regulation gives supervisory authorities the possibility to impose administrative fines of up to, depending on the category of offence:

• 10 million euros or 2% of the annual global turnover (higher amount retained)
• 20 million euros or 4% of the annual global turnover (higher amount retained)

Mais en dehors de l’aspect financier, ne pas se mettre en conformité avec le RGPD pourrait se révéler désastreux en termes de réputation pour les entreprises qui subiraient une atteinte à leur image de marque et risqueraient de perdre la confiance de leurs clients de plus en plus attachés à la protection de leurs données personnelles.
