Is your business GDPR compliant and sustainable?

European data protection laws are constantly evolving. The General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR, has raised data protection to the highest level of business risks, and the consequences for non-compliance can be severe. 

Data protection means ensuring that a company takes care of the personal data and privacy of its customers, employees, partners and other stakeholders in a lawful and transparent manner. They all value the fact that their personal data is processed in accordance with the law. 

Good data protection is an essential part of responsible business and corporate sustainability. Today, more and more customers, financiers and other stakeholders are demanding that all their partners comply with the data protection laws.

Top 5 data protection mistakes

There are common misunderstandings about data protection and privacy that no responsible company leader should make.

5

Don’t think that data protection is just a formality. If you neglect it, your customers and everyone else will notice, and they won’t appreciate it. Good data protection supports safe and sustainable growth.

4

Don’t think that drawing up a privacy policy is all that it takes. Lawful data protection requires internal processes, documentation and staff skills that should be tailored to your business. Once these are in place, you’re golden.

3

Don’t think that no one cares about data protection. Especially in Europe, a fast growing number of medium-sized and large customers as well as funders now require that every company that they do business with adhere to data protection laws. Looking after good data protection gives you a competitive edge.

2

Don’t think that you don’t process personal data and therefore don’t have to worry about data protection. Every company processes personal data of someone: customers, employees, directors, shareholders, funders, and business partners. Protecting your stakeholders’ personal data shows you respect them.

1

Finally, and most importantly: Don’t think that ensuring good data protection is an impossible or exceedindly expensive task. With professional help, you can set up compliant data protection with ease and cost-efficiency.

Start-ups and small growth companies also need to take care of good data protection

Today, an increasing number of medium and large customers, financiers and other stakeholders are demanding legal and ethical compliance from all their partners. Small companies often lose RFP’s and other tenders because they cannot demonstrate their compliance.

Both start-ups and growth companies should be proactive in ensuring high quality data protection when seeking funding or loans. Data protection is a key risk issue in due diligence done by investors and lenders.

Well managed data protection serves to strengthen your company’s valuation and to reduce risk premiums. Conversely, failure to protect personal data brings huge financial risks and raises “red flags” that can bring down a whole financing round. It’s important to act well ahead of time, as due diligence probes can go back as far as three to five years.
