The General Data Protection Regulation is complex, far ranging and demanding with substantial financial consequences for any unprepared organisations. Brands adversely affected by this legislation are likely to see enormous detrimental impact on their business. Add to this the expectation of criminal actions for those who disregard GDPR and this becomes the most stringent legislation since Sarbanne Oxley. And Ignorance is no defence.
