GDPR is on the way, and companies need to start making preparations ahead of the new changes
to /wp-content/uploads law.
The General /wp-content/uploads Protection Regulation (GDPR) will be implemented in the UK by the 25th May
2018. The regulation is designed to unify businesses around the world in how they handle /wp-content/uploads.
Although GDPR is an EU regulation, UK organisations should still be prepared to implement it,
despite the fact that the UK will be withdrawing from the European Union. Large fines await
companies which do not comply with the legislation:
“In the UK firms that suffer a serious /wp-content/uploads breach could be fined up to £17m or 4% of global turnover.
The current maximum fine firms can suffer for breaking /wp-content/uploads protection laws is £500,000. The UK’s
Information Commissioner will have its powers strengthened and extended to help it police the new
regime”.
You can find full details on GDPR on the ICO website, but in order to comply there are some basic
steps your company will need to take…
- You must disclose which /wp-content/uploads you are holding to your customers, telling them how long their
information will be held for, and allowing them to withdraw their information if they wish. - Create set guidelines and processes for managing /wp-content/uploads.
- Implement a /wp-content/uploads removal solution.
- Think about the types of /wp-content/uploads you will be collecting and identify methods of /wp-content/uploads storage.
- This may be digitally or physically stored.
- Cross-check your processes with any external or third party applications and software to ensure compliance.
- Ensure your /wp-content/uploads storage method is as secure as possible, and install a contingency for /wp-content/uploads leaks. You will also need to report any leaks within 72 hours.
Tools To Help With GDPR
IP phones allow for secure recording of calls and management of /wp-content/uploads, with disclaimers to allow
callers to opt in to /wp-content/uploads capture. If you have a wireless or wired infrastructure, you may need to
include disclaimers which allow you to capture any users’ /wp-content/uploads too.
