What is GDPR Compliance?
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a comprehensive data protection law enacted by the European Union (EU) in May 2018. It aims to give EU citizens greater control over their personal data and to ensure that organizations handling such data do so responsibly and transparently.
Why GDPR Compliance Matters?
Non-compliance with GDPR can result in severe penalties, including fines of up to €20 million or 4% of the company’s annual global turnover, whichever is higher. Beyond financial penalties, non-compliance can damage your company’s reputation and erode customer trust.
At QCERTIFY GLOBAL, we specialize in helping businesses navigate the complexities of GDPR compliance. Our expert consultants can provide comprehensive audits, tailored compliance strategies, and ongoing support to ensure your organization meets all GDPR requirements.

1. Lawfulness, Fairness, and Transparency: Data must be processed lawfully, fairly, and transparently.
2. Purpose Limitation: Data should be collected for specific, explicit, and legitimate purposes and not processed in a manner incompatible with those purposes.
3. Data Minimization: Only data necessary for the intended purpose should be collected.
4. Accuracy: Data must be accurate and kept up to date.
5. Storage Limitation: Data should be stored no longer than necessary.
6. Integrity and Confidentiality: Data must be processed securely to prevent unauthorized access, loss, or damage.
7. Accountability: Organizations must take responsibility for data protection and demonstrate compliance with GDPR principles.
