GDPR: Opportunities and challenges
The main challenge of GDPR for corporations will be assessing their current information collection and storage systems against the new regulations and ensuring compliance before the deadline. Accountability is critical, and concepts such as pseudonymisation will become commonplace under the new regulations.

They will then carry out reviews every four years to ensure continued compliance.
