Checking your GDPR Compliance with iSoft!
Today, we're diving into a crucial topic for businesses and organizations handling personal data – GDPR compliance. GDPR, or the General Data Protection Regulation, is a set of regulations aimed at protecting the privacy and personal data of individuals within the European Union.
Under GDPR, organizations must ensure that personal data is processed lawfully, transparently, and for specified purposes. This includes obtaining explicit consent from individuals before collecting their data. From secure data storage to access controls and clear data protection policies, GDPR compliance is an ongoing process that requires dedication and effort.

We want them to know their data is safe with us.Non-compliance with GDPR can result in hefty fines, up to €20 million or 4% of annual global turnover, whichever is higher. So, it's crucial for organizations to get it right.
There are several key principles of GDPR, such as data minimization, accuracy, integrity, and confidentiality. These principles guide how organizations should handle personal data.
