Regulation (EU) 679/2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data One main data protection law for all EU Member States (until further notice including UK) Fully applicable from 25 May 2018 to all organizations processing personal data in the EU or when offering goods and services to people in the EU New financial penalties in case of non-compliance Maximum 20 million euro; or 4% worldwide annual turnover (whichever is higher)

EU General Data Protection Regulation GDPR Compliance We envisage three types of organizations in 2018: 1. Those who are non-compliant 2. Those who are compliant 3. Those who are able to demonstrate ongoing compliance Snapshot of a given moment in time (compliant) vs. readiness to deal with changing circumstances because the fundamentals of the police are sound (ongoing compliance) Free tools available today at www.nymity.com/gdpr-toolkit More advanced solutions at a subscription basis
Nymity GDPR Compliance Toolkit
Understand Accountability under the GDPR Replacement of the obligation to register with DPA Understand your data processing operations on an ongoing basis: Both what and why Article 24 Responsibility of the Controller Article 5 Principles relating to personal data processing Taking into account the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing as well as the risks of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons, the controller shall implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure and to be able to demonstrate that processing is performed in accordance with this Regulation. Those measures shall be reviewed and updated where necessary. The controller shall be responsible for and be able to demonstrate compliance with paragraph 1 ( accountability ).
Accountability Cornerstone of the GDPR replaces notification obligation Accountability requires the need to show what you are doing (demonstrate compliance): To the supervisory authority To individuals Reduce risk of investigations and/or fines Quicker response to complaints and breaches - save time
Operationalizing Accountability: Structured Privacy Management Accountability Approach to Demonstrating Compliance Structured Privacy Management is embedding ongoing privacy management activities throughout the organization, resulting in the ability to demonstrate accountability and compliance with evidence. RESPONSIBILITY Privacy management activities have been implemented and are maintained on an ongoing basis. OWNERSHIP Privacy management activities are embedded throughout the organization within each function or business unit that processes personal data. EVIDENCE Documentation is produced as a result of a privacy management activity that can be used as Evidence of accountability and compliance.
Nymity Privacy Management Accountability Framework Accountability Approach to Demonstrating Compliance Privacy management activities are ongoing procedures, policies, measures, mechanisms, and other initiatives that impact the processing of personal data or that relate to compliance with privacy and data protection laws.
Evidence and Compliance Article 24 requires organizations to demonstrate that the processing of personal data is performed in compliance with this Regulation. Demonstrating compliance is a dialogue, the privacy office uses evidence to tell the story Not: Are we compliant right now? Instead: How do we comply on an ongoing basis?
Appropriate Technical and Organizational Measures Appropriate dependent on the specificities of an organization DPA Guidance can be expected in the coming years Don t wait Many measures are likely already part of your privacy program Document what is currently undocumented Best practices available Make sure you are ready to tell the story behind your privacy policy and illustrate it with supporting documents Nymity research tools accessible via IAPP Resources
