If GDPR Compliance Doesn’t Start With Information Governance, You’ll Probably Fail

Most discussions regarding the EU’s impending General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) — scheduled for implementation in May 2018 — focus squarely on consent management (i.e., making sure organizations have permission to use the data they are collecting and processing). This focus certainly makes sense. Consent management is critical to organizations’ abilities to continue doing business as usual in the face of the new regulation. However, as data collection and processing continue to soar — and there are no signs the consent requirement will slow data growth — organizations are increasingly challenged to secure the data they process, as required by Article 32 of the regulation.
