The GDPR is the most significant development in data protection that Europe, possibly the world, has seen over the past twenty years and therefore unsurprisingly is designed to better take into account modern technologies, the way we work with them today and are likely to work in the future.

 

In addition, there is a much greater emphasis on compliance following a widely held belief that business had not taken data privacy seriously enough previously.

 

As a consequence, penalties are considerably harsher and the compliance requirements are intended to spread a far wider net to include small and medium businesses.
