GDPR

What is GDPR?
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was developed to create cohesive data privacy laws that serve to protect the personal data of all EU citizens. Any organization that offers goods or services to, or monitors the behavior of, EU citizens, are impacted by the GDPR

What have we done about GDPR?

• We completed our audit and conducted a gap assessment in December
  
• Following from the gap assessment, we created an internal roadmap to make sure we are compliant with GDPR come 25th May 2018
• We engaged our security team to consider and perform the necessary changes/improvements to our service infrastructure based on requirements identified in our gap analysis
• We reviewed our key third party vendor arrangements, and made sure we had the appropriate contractual protections in place to satisfy GDPR
• We have updated our internal policies and procedures for GDPR compliance
• We have updated our external facing policies to be GDPR compliant and will be publishing those updated policies prior to the GDPR effective date
