Whilst GDPR applies to almost all companies that operate in EU, it is also applicable to organizations outside of EU that target EU residents (many organizations are required to comply to GDPR due to this requirement).

If you answer “Yes” to any of the following four questions, we would suggest that you seek professional advice as soon as possible:
Penalties for non-compliance may result in fines up to 20 million Euros or four percent of your global turnover, whichever is higher. The GDPR regulation empowers the data subject (individual whose Personal Information is being processed) by providing more control, choice over sharing the data, right to erasure, obtaining active consent and affirmation of individuals’ personal rights
The regulation also mandates stringent processes to be followed in the event of a data breach. GDPR mandates that data breach needs to be notified to the enforcement agency within 72 hours after becoming aware of the breach.
