DALLAS, June 28, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Masergy today announced its live
webinar, titled "Mitigating Business Risks Related to GDPR." The European
Union''s (EU''s) new GDPR rules better protect the privacy and security of EU
citizens, but will also deliver a long list of onerous obligations for
businesses. Masergy''s on-line event provides valuable information to help
organizations avoid GDPR pitfalls when preparing for full
compliance. Register for the GDPR webinar today: https://maser.gy/gdpr-webinar
The new GDPR rules are applicable to any organization that:
* Is based in the EU
* Offers any goods or services to EU citizens
* Monitors the behavior of EU citizens
* Holds or processes data on EU citizens
CIOs, CISOs and IT Managers are encouraged to join Peter Wright, Founder and
Managing Director at DigitalLawUK and resident GDPR expert, along with Mark
Nicholls, Masergy''s European Head of Enterprise Security Consulting, as they
discuss one of the biggest changes to data protection regulation in nearly 20
years. Specific topics include:
* The effects that Brexit and GDPR will have on the daily operations of EU
businesses.
* Building a business case to secure budget for GDPR preparation efforts.
* Recommendations based on real-world analogies and successful deployment
examples.
"The threat of non compliance is not merely theoretical," Nicholls stated. "Most
leading EU companies collect personal information from website visitors in ways
that will violate the GDPR rules when they take effect in May 2018. Unless
companies begin their compliance activities now, organizations could be subject
to fines as much as 4% of their annual revenue."
