2 "The GDPR is actually already in force, it is just that Member States are not obligated to apply it until 25 May It s your job, it s your company s job, to understand the risks you re creating for others and to mitigate them. Elizabeth Denham, UK Information Commissioner GDPR is a truly game-changing overhaul of European data protection laws that is going to impact every business, every individual and every member of public sector bodies in Europe. This means it is time for businesses, big and small across all sectors, to start preparing now because it can t be business as usual any longer. It is a law that is going to lead the standard for data protection, globally." Helen Dixon, Data Protection Commissioner of Ireland
