Extract from Robin Kruzer’s article “More than 75 percent of US companies concerned about meeting GDPR deadline”
Many businesses are still not ready for the May 25, 2018, compliance deadline for the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), a new NetApp survey revealed last week.
GDPR is a European Union legislation that governs any entities that handle the data of EU citizens. Organizations in breach of GDPR can be fined up to 4 percent of their annual global turnover or €20 million (whichever is greater).
The survey was conducted in March by cloud services company NetApp and included responses from 1,106 C-suite, CIOs and IT managers responsible for IT buying decisions in the US, the UK, France and Germany.
