The regulation has been known for years.
BigCorps, I work with, have been working on this for years...
If you start now, then you have a problem.
Also, I expect there will be quite some years before the book is thrown on companies, that do not willfully disobey the law..
As most new major legislation, there is a long process of dialing it in (for the lack of better terms), and in most north- and western european contries (at least, I don't know that much about eastern and southern european) most regulatory handling is dialogue-based and not fine-based unless you are a black sheep..
- speedplane 8y agoI suspect that there are many contours of the law that European regulators are not entirely decided on. The next few years will be a learning process for them as well as the tech industry (and their lawyers).
- svennek 8y agoSure, that is what I meant by dialing in. But that is a process without fines (unless the companies are entirely unreasonable)... At least here in Denmark, the DPA is really reasonable and willing to work with the companies to get compliance...
- hvidgaard 8y agoThe source is eluding me, but I'm pretty sure that Datatilsynet (DPA in Denmark) have stated that as long as you have a reasonable plan for implementing GDPR in a reasonable timeframe, you're in the clear. I'd expect as much as they have only recently released their standard documents for Data Processor Agreements for instance.
