2024-10-10Data protection fines can bankrupt a small firm—and trust once lost is hard to regain. The EU's GDPR sets strict rules, but meeting them doesn't have to be overwhelming.
This guide breaks GDPR into actionable steps so you can secure customer data and sleep at night.
Map Your Data Flows
Know where personal data enters, lives, and exits. A simple diagram often reveals hidden risks.
Implement Least Privilege
Grant staff only the access they need. Role‑based permissions reduce accidental exposure.
Document Consent and Breaches
GDPR requires auditable trails. Automate logs and breach notifications to stay compliant.
"Security builds trust; GDPR just writes it into law."
Compliance is an ongoing process, not a checkbox. It's about building trust through transparency and security by design.
