Panda Security's Adaptive Defense Eases the Transition to the GDPR

Panda’s objective is to address the need to adapt data security practices and thereby give its clients a competitive advantage. Disregarding the requirements of the GDPR could lead to fines of up to 20,000,000 euros, or for some even more costly data sanctions.

Bracknell, United Kingdom, April 02, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Panda Security’s “Preparation Guide to the New European General Data Protection Regulation” introduces the new legislation to businesses before its application in 2018.

With the focus on protecting the fundamental rights and freedoms of natural persons and their right to the protection of personal data, the regulation establishes obligations for organizations processing citizens data.

How will the GDPR affect businesses?

One of the main points of the white paper is that taking action only when an infringement has already occurred is insufficient as a strategy, since such a failure can cause irreversible damage to interested parties and can be very difficult to compensate.

Here are some sanctions and other potential problems stemming from non-compliance with the GDPR:

. Direct or indirect economic repercussions.
. PR damages.
. The loss of current or potential clients due to non-compliance.
. The risk of data-processing limits or bans imposed by supervisory authority.
. The possible suspension of your service for your clients.
. Claims from natural persons involved in infringement.
. Costly fines that could reach up to 20,000€ or 4% of global revenue.
