How should my organization start its GDPR journey?

» Primer

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step

Chinese Proverb

When it comes to GDPR that first step is educating yourself and your team on the GDPR and its implications. The GDPR is a complex and comprehensive regulation, and it’s important to have a good understanding of the rules before taking any action.

Once you have a good grasp on the GDPR, you’ll want to create a GDPR Compliance Plan. A typical compliance plan includes the following:

1. Conduct a Data Audit: Determine what personal data your organization processes, where it comes from, and who it is shared with.

2. Appoint a Data Protection Officer: If your organization processes large amounts of personal data, you may need to appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO) to oversee GDPR compliance.

3. Review Privacy Notices: Ensure that your privacy notices are clear, concise, and transparent, and that they accurately reflect your data processing activities.

4.Obtain Consent: Ensure that you have obtained valid consent from individuals before processing their personal data.

5.Implement Data Subject Rights: Ensure that you have procedures in place to handle requests from data subjects to exercise their GDPR rights, such as the right to access, rectification, erasure, and portability.

6.Implement Technical and Organizational Measures: Implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data, including access controls, encryption, and pseudonymization.

7.Monitor and Report Data Breaches: Establish procedures for detecting, reporting, and investigating data breaches, and notifying data subjects and authorities as required by the GDPR.

8.Review Contracts with Third Parties: Review and update contracts with third-party data processors to ensure compliance with the GDPR.

9.Conduct Regular Data Protection Impact Assessments: Identify and assess the risks associated with your data processing activities and take appropriate measures to mitigate those risks.

10.Provide Employee Training: Provide training to employees on GDPR compliance, including their responsibilities under the regulation and how to handle personal data.

By following these steps, your organization can develop a comprehensive GDPR compliance plan that will help ensure compliance with this important data protection regulation.

Finally, you’ll need to implement the plan. This includes updating policies and procedures, ensuring that data is properly secured and stored, and providing data subjects with the necessary rights and protections.
