GDPR compliance is the key to a smooth transition through Brexit
Brexit’s effect on data laws demands that data management remains a top business priority for UK organisations.
During the 11 month transition period, EU law will continue to apply to the UK. GDPR compliance will remain mandatory, with failure to comply continuing to result in fines. The UK Data Protection Act 2018 will sit alongside GDPR in the UK.
The UK also plans to seek an adequacy agreement once it leaves the EU, which would allow for the continued free flow of data between the two areas, although it’s unclear how long this negotiation may take, or even if the EU would grant the status.
