Are you ready for the GDPR?
The EU regulation comes into force on May 25, 2018
Most of you might be already aware, there is a regulation by EU authorities that aims to deliver better data protection for all citizens of the European Union. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will enable individuals gain control over how their personal data is used by all the organizations they interact with, and as a whole – will help keep their own privacy. The GDPR will take effect on May 25, 2018 when all the companies operating on the EU market and processing personal data must be fully compliant with the regulation. Failing to do so may result in a fine of up to € 20 million or 4% of the company’s worldwide revenue for the previous financial year (whichever is higher).
At Intelligent Systems we have always strived to help our customers keep up with the latest tech trends and requirements, while ensuring their software and infrastructure meet all respective rules and legislations. Thus, here are some ideas how Dynamics 365 helps your business comply with the GDPR that would turn out critical to any organization:
- Obtain explicit consent from customers to process their data
- Provide tools that create notifications and inform customers about how their data will be used
- Enable customers to request rectification, erasure, or transfer of their personal data
- Incorporate so called “privacy-by-design” and “privacy-by-default” methodologies into your systems – i.e. organizations need to consider privacy at the initial design stages and throughout the complete development process of new products, processes or services that involve processing personal data; the collected personal data must be only those required to perform the duties and nothing more
- Increase data security through multiple ways of granting or restricting access to personal data as well as encrypting it
…and many more.
