2. INTRODUCTION TO GDPR COMPLIANCE The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a comprehensive data privacy law that came into force on 25th May 2018, replacing the 1995 Data Protection Directive. It sets out the rights of individuals in relation to their personal data and places strict requirements on how organisations collect, store, manage, and share that data. Whether you are a sole trader, SME, public sector organisation, or multinational enterprise, if you handle the personal data of individuals in the UK or EU, you are legally obligated to comply with GDPR. Non-compliance can result in significant financial penalties, reputational damage, and operational disruption. Why GDPR Matters to UK Businesses 1.Protects Individuals' Privacy Rights GDPR gives people greater control over their personal information — from the right to access and rectify data, to the right to erasure (the “right to be forgotten”). 2.Enhances Trust & Transparency Businesses that follow GDPR best practices show customers and stakeholders that data protection is taken seriously, enhancing reputation and trust. 3.Legal & Financial Risk Management The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has the authority to impose fines of up to £17.5 million or 4% of annual global turnover, whichever is higher. 4.Supports Better Data Governance GDPR encourages organisations to improve their data governance processes, reduce data silos, and increase operational efficiency. 5.Competitive Advantage Demonstrating GDPR compliance can be a unique selling point, especially when tendering for contracts or entering international markets.
