The 25th of May marks the first year anniversary of the disruptive EU-wide law which overhauled how businesses process and handle data. As the world’s strongest data protection rule, GDPR inflicts fines of up to €20m to businesses who fail to comply.
In the past year, businesses in the EU have been fined €56m in total, however this has merely been labelled a ‘transition year’ by France’s national regulator SNIL, whilst countries focus on finalising their rules and approaches.
