General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
The main intent of the GDPR is to give individuals more control over their personal data, impose stricter rules to companies handling it and make sure companies embrace new technology to process the influx of data produced.
This new directive has clearly been created acknowledging that people produce much more sensitive data than they have ever before.
Managing data on a large scale can be risky for organisations if they do not plan out an appropriate strategy and update their systems to handle the influx.
