GDPR Checklist
1 Appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO)
Determine whether your organisation requires a DPO. Even if you don’t need
one it’s a good idea to make one person/team responsible for data governance
to help ensure you stay ahead of any potential changes to your responsibilities.
2 Understand and inform
Ensure you and all members of your organisation understand the new rules and
regulations that fall under GDPR, and that everyone understands their roles and
responsibilities.
