With just over six months left until the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) goes into effect, companies around the world should be honing their data governance game plan to make sure they can comply with the new regulation. Many organizations are surprised that regardless of where a company is based, if they supply products or services to EU residents, then they must be in compliance.
A recent SAS survey found that despite all the buzz around the GDPR, less than half (45 percent) of organizations have a structured plan in place for compliance and more than half (58 percent) indicate that their organizations are not fully aware of the consequences of noncompliance.
