December 2018

Dozens of GDPR projects completed, more yet to come

The year 2018 was dominated by implementation of the GDPR in Europe. The new legislation governing personal data protection marked a significant change for corporate management systems. KSP provided advice in respect of dozens of projects involving the implementation of the new procedures for companies and enterprises in the energy, automotive, machine, steel, production, waste management, IT, FCMG, paper and furniture sectors, including to stock-exchange listed enterprises.

 

The major idea behind the GDPR is to prepare enterprise for informed management of the entire personal data protection process.  In the last quarter of 2018, our Data Protection Team carried out a number of risk analyses (formally known as Data Protection Impact Assessments - DPIA), employing methods developed internally by our law firm. The DPIA was performed for the processes of surveillance of employees’ behaviour using advanced Zscaler Inc. tools, whistleblowing procedures, website user profiling for marketing purposes, etc.
