GDPR Compliance and Certification

What is GDPR Compliance and Certification?


GDPR compliance is a critical requirement for organizations processing personal data of individuals within the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA).

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), enforced on May 25, 2018, aims to give individuals control over their personal data and to simplify the regulatory environment for international business by unifying the regulation within the EU.

GDPR certification, while not explicitly required by the regulation, serves as a tangible demonstration of an organization's commitment to data protection principles and practices, ensuring the lawful processing of personal data.

GDPR compliance involves adhering to principles such as data minimization, consent, right to access, and data portability, among others.

Organizations must implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure and to be able to demonstrate that processing is performed in accordance with the GDPR.

Certification through recognized frameworks or standards related to data protection can help organizations validate their compliance efforts.
