It’s a fairly sure bet that most businesses don’t
welcome more regulation in the form of the General Data Protection Regulation
(GDPR), a 56,000 word document aimed at protecting personal data. The
implementation deadline for the GDPR is 25 May 2018.
On
the other side of the coin, there are no doubt many people who believe that the
GDPR will help, among other things, to reduce marketing or emails, calls and
texts, many of which are of no relevance to them, or which, in the case of
bogus messages, can lead to scams.
Most
businesses would probably look for a way of reducing the risks from the GDPR as
cost effectively and quickly as possible, so that they can get back to the
business of providing goods and services.
The
easiest way to reduce GDPR risks (in the form of the potentially much greater
fines) is probably simply to avoid collecting and holding personal data at all,
and to securely delete any that is held. But, of course, businesses want to
hold on to records about customers.
Bearing
in mind that businesses are looking for the easiest way of complying with the
GDPR, we have put together the attached list of vendors who say that they have
software that can help with GDPR compliance.
Please
be aware that we have not had the opportunity to test or assess this software
ourselves, nor do we know the cost of it. However, if firms approach us, and
allow us to test their software, we are prepared to do so, and would then
provide a write up for everyone’s consideration. We do not produce such
software ourselves.
You
do of course need to undertake your own due diligence exercise before
considering purchasing any software from these firms, or paying for their
advice.
