The General Data Protection Regulation GDPR was enacted to protect personal data from being exploited for profit, mainly when huge amounts of data are transferred in countries outside the EU, due to the leaps that technology has made through the last decade. The GDPR implements a strict new system of protection and everyone is obligated to comply otherwise the GDPR provides for very high fines. Mast Consulting SA acknowledges the individual need for compliance, assumes the obligation to detect a company’s gaps and weaknesses in relation to the protection and security that a client provides to its personal data and is able to propose the most appropriate measures with responsibility, awareness and guarantying the best possible result i.e. the absolute and total compliance of our client under the GDPR.
Specifically, compliance under the GDPR entails the obligation that each process on the personal data is conducted lawfully during the personal data’s life cycle from the point of obtaining to the point of deleting the data as well as that they are processed in a manner that ensures the data’s constant and appropriate security. Moreover, GDPR strengthens the data subjects’ rights, increases the data controller’s and processor’s responsibilities and obligations and grants the supervisory authority with powers that include the power to issue fines of up to € 20.000.000 or up to 4 % of the total worldwide annual turnover of the preceding financial year.
