What is GDPR?

The General Data Protection Regulation, better known as the AVG or GDPR, has been in effect throughout the European Union since May 2018. All companies based in the EU and companies that process data of individuals in the EU must comply with the new rules for the protection of personal data. The rules ensure that companies must be demonstrably more responsible to protect personal data, and that customers have more control over their own data.

The following principles are important for implementation:

  • Integrity: Personal data must be protected with appropriate technical and organizational security measures.
  • Legality: Organizations must, among other things, ensure that they have a legal basis for processing personal data and that they process this data fairly and transparently.
  • Restricted use: Personal information may only be collected for specific, explicit, legitimate purposes.
  • Data minimization: Data collection should be limited to only those data that are relevant and necessary for the intended use.
  • Accuracy: Personal information must be accurate and up to date.
  • Storage limit: Personal information should only be stored for as long as is necessary and reasonable, subject to relevant exceptions.

Under the GDPR, it is very important that you:

  • personal data is well protected and only processed for the associated purpose
  • demonstrably meets your obligations
  • be transparent with your customers and other stakeholders
  • makes clear and conclusive agreements with parties that process personal data for you
  • takes responsibility for the personal data that you control
  • personal data well protected
  • respects and facilitates the privacy rights of customers and other stakeholders

Managing and monitoring GDPR

Management System

Why a digital management system for AVG?

Many organizations have already switched from a “handbook in the closet” to an environment such as SharePoint or a Document Management System to also be able to view their documentation remotely.

But then these questions and sources of stress linger:

  • How do you easily deposit the processing agreement in the organization?
  • How are adjustments planned and managed?
  • How do I control the quality of the processes such as outsourcing, etc.?
  • How do you clearly and easily evaluate the results of the information security?
  • How can I easily become aware of AVG in my organization?
  • What measures have been or still need to be implemented for risk management of AVG?
  • How construction am I simply bearing the burden of proof of the various registrations?
