Five worthy reads is a regular column on five noteworthy items we’ve discovered while researching trending and timeless topics. This week, we uncover some of the aspects of the GDPR that may go unnoticed.
The judgment day is finally here. With bated breath and eyes as wide as saucers, the world has been marking the days off the calendar—watching, expecting, waiting for May 25, 2018, the day the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) comes into effect.
While there’s been quite a bit of discussion about the GDPR, the bulk of the conversation has focused on the consequences of noncompliance. But what businesses often seem to forget is that there are two sides to every coin; if the GDPR brings with it the risk of being fined up to €20 million or four percent of your global turnover, it also brings along a host of opportunities and benefits that businesses should take advantage of. It is, of course, crucial to be aware of the price of noncompliance, but you should also keep in mind that the GDPR is not out to get organizations. The main aim of the GDPR is to build an environment of trust and loyalty wherein individuals feel comfortable trusting businesses with their personal information.
So, while everyone else is talking about compliance and penalties, you can take a different approach—one that focuses on the opportunities and virtues of the GDPR. On that note, let’s take a look at five articles that highlight the myriad of business benefits that the GDPR will bring.
