Majority of businesses concerned by new EU data protection regulations, study reveals

A global study has revealed that 86% of organisations are concerned that recent EU data protection regulations could have a major negative impact on their business.

The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which comes into effect on May 25, 2018, is designed to harmonise data privacy laws across Europe and requires businesses to be able to provide individuals with a copy of their data or delete it, within a 30-day time frame.
