The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) sets the standard for organizations demonstrating compliance with the comprehensive data protection and privacy regulation in the European Union.
Achieving GDPR compliance signifies that an organization has implemented measures to safeguard the privacy and personal data of individuals within the EU. This involves adopting and maintaining robust data protection policies, ensuring secure data processing practices, appointing a Data Protection Officer (DPO), conducting privacy impact assessments, and being transparent about data processing activities.
While GDPR certification isn't a legal requirement, it serves as evidence that an organization is committed to respecting individuals' rights and complying with the stringent data protection standards outlined in the GDPR.
