'Last night in Sweden' was a figment of Trump's Fox News-inspired imagination

“You look at what’s happening last night in Sweden. Sweden, who would believe this? Sweden. They took in large numbers. They’re having problems like they never thought possible”, Trump said in a speech over the weekend. That something had happened “last night” in the small European country came as news to many in the crowd. Of course, as with the now infamous invented Bowling Green Massacre, whatever happened “last night in Sweden” only took place in the tortured dreams of Team Trump. And where did Trump get this information about Sweden? How Chief Data Officers Can Get Their Companies to Collect Clean Data. In analytics, nothing matters more than data quality.

What is GDPR? Everything you need to know

The EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the result of four years of work by the EU to bring data protection legislation into line with new, previously unforeseen ways that data is now used. Currently, the UK relies on the Data Protection Act 1998, which was enacted following the 1995 EU Data Protection Directive, but this will be superseded by the new legislation. It introduces tougher fines for non-compliance and breaches, and gives people more say over what companies can do with their data. It also makes data protection rules more or less identical throughout the EU. Why was the GDPR drafted? GDPR is Coming – Penalty Primer. It has been eight months since the Court of Justice for the European Union struck down the 15-year-old Safe Harbor arrangement between the EU and US.

GDPR is Coming – Penalty Primer

At the time, there was a good deal of consternation over the future of EU-US data exchange and just how businesses would continue to operate. Despite several fits and starts, parties on both sides of the pond worked hard to remove and address their own respective internal barriers and to create the necessary legal framework to reestablish data exchange connectivity. Officially, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) 2016/679 went into force on May 24, 2016, but it will not enter into full force until May 6, 2018.

That means companies must have a lot of the compliance work in place as they move through 2017. The question is, where should they be by the middle of the new year? “With time ticking away, I’m guessing there’s going to be an increasingly panicked response from organizations that realize they should be a lot further along the road to compliance than they are,” Andrew Goodfellow-Swaap, information officer for Nottinghamshire County Council, said in an exchange on LinkedIn. To reduce that panic, we reached out to several compliance practitioners who’ve spent the last couple of years immersed in the subject and asked where companies should be in their work by mid 2017. Several pointed to a checklist published last month by Ireland’s Office of the Data Protection Commissioner.

The position of IT service providers (data processors) under the GDPR - ip-it-telecom resources - it-law articles and resources - lexgo.be. Many articles have highlighted the changes that the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (more commonly referred to as GDPR) will bring to companies.

Usually, the focus rests on companies in their capacity of data controllers. There has been considerably less exposure of the impact of the GDPR on IT service providers who process personal data on behalf of their customers (data processors). Under the current legal framework, data processors have no legal regime that applies directly to them. The data protection obligations of the data processor are in a general manner obligations that contractually derive from the obligations of the data controller. The GDPR considerably expands the current legal framework in relation to data processors. GDPR predictions for 2017.

EU GDPR Privacy Laws Are Coming But Firms Are Not Ready. The world’s toughest privacy law will go into force in Europe 18 months from now, and so far, the strategy of many IT professionals appears to be “pretend it’s not happening.” That’s the takeaway from a survey published today by Dell that suggests most firms are unprepared for the EU’s General Data Protection Regulations. This collection of laws (known as GDPR) passed earlier this year, and will introduce a spate of stiff compliance measures and eye-watering penalties for companies that don’t take a series of steps to manage data.

For instance, firms will have to: Hire a data protection officerIntroduce “privacy by design” to their workflowGet explicit consent to use a wide variety of dataIncrease opt-out and data portability options If they don’t comply, companies face a maximum fine of 20 million euros or 4% of total revenue—whichever is greater.

As we head into the final 18 month stretch before the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) comes into force, two new studies have revealed a worrying lack of preparedness on the part of organizations. Information management firm Veritas interviewed 2500 senior IT decision makers in APAC, the US and EMEA recently only to find 54% had not advanced their readiness plans. The study also found widespread confusion over who was responsible for compliance efforts, with a third (32%) claiming it was the job of the CIO, but sizeable numbers claiming the same for the CISO (21%), CEO (14%) and chief data officer (10%). Unsurprisingly, 40% were worried about a major compliance failing in their organization.

So what are their tasks and powers exactly, and who are competent?
