GDPR – Get Ready
The Data Protection Commissioner has worked closely with industry bodies to produce a practical Guide and resources to help you comply with GDPR. Rather than worry about the implications of these regulations; get informed and make sure you comply – it doesn’t have to be as daunting as you may fear.
Most important though is to get up-to-speed with your obligations; and it may not be as demanding as you think to do this. See two helpful documents below.
