Free Resources to Help You Prepare for the GDPR- Effective May 25

April 25, 2018

IT Governance had a helpful post with free (your favorite price) resources to help you comply with the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which takes effect on May 25^th and requires all organizations that handle, store, and process the data of EU residents' data to abide by its strict terms.

A lot of law firms and other entities in the U.S. are way behind in ramping up for compliance with the GDPR so you may find these free resources useful.

IT Governance offers a free series of webinars which cover topics such as accountability, suffering a data breach and the required policies and procedures. A range of data protection and cyber security experts, including Alan Calder and Adrian Ross, will guide you through the first steps of implementing the GDPR.

Webinar titles include:

• Accountability under the GDPR, and what it means for boards and senior management
• Prepare for the EU GDPR
• Data breaches and the EU GDPR
• The role of data protection officer (DPO)
• Revising policies and procedures under the GDPR
• Data flow mapping for GDPR compliance
• The EU GDPR and you: Requirements for marketing

There is also a green paper: EU General Data Protection Regulation – A Compliance Guide which will help you understand what the GDPR is along with the key changes it introduces.

A helpful infographic gives you a quick overview of the GDPR.

There is also a sample set of free templates to document your compliance with the GDPR.

If you are only just waking up to the need to comply with the GDPR, this is at least a way to get a good overview – time is definitely running out . . .
