The General Data Protection Regulation and What It Means For Your Business
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies to all organisations based inside and outside the EU, which process information about EU citizens. It is the first truly global piece of data protection legislation and will have far reaching consequences for companies around the world, including the UAE. Enforcement begins in May 2018. Is your organisation prepared?
