In particular, the whitepaper examines how the existing skills in HR departments can be utilised to deliver the new practices and procedures across a company, as well as the ways in which marketing and IT departments should work together to avoid discrepancies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLast year, large companies like Uber and Yahoo reported data breaches that resulted in personal data being leaked to unauthorised parties,\u201d explained Nigel Crockford, business development manager at eSpida. \u201cThe implementation of the GDPR will force businesses to take the necessary steps to ensure that the handling and storage of data is safe and secure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe current data protection regulation was introduced in 1980 and so it does not account for technological developments like social media. The GDPR will now position companies so that they must actively seek explicit permission from individuals to store their data. This includes outlining how the information will be used and what for.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe scale and breadth of changes to be made will vary between companies, depending on their current data processing policies. However, it\u2019s important that all businesses understand how to leverage the competencies of their departments to make the transition smoother. Our whitepaper will help businesses identify these opportunities and minimise the disruption of GDPR.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Data security specialist eSpida has released a whitepaper addressing the provisions of the general data protection regulation (GDPR) to help organisations comply with its requirements.
