IT Governance encourages compliance professionals to participate in its second GDPR survey and win £350 voucher
IT Governance’s GDPR Survey is designed to evaluate the level of awareness organisations have of the GDPR and assess the progress achieved with their compliance project. Based on the survey results IT Governance will be publishing a report, which aims to inform the development of comprehensive solutions for GDPR compliance that are suited to the challenges faced by data protection professionals.
Alan Calder, the founder and chief executive officer of IT Governance, said: “This is the second year we’ll be running a GDPR survey to assess the progress organisations are making in terms of GDPR compliance. Last year’s GDPR Report on implementation challenges and milestones for early adopters showed that organisations were at the planning stage or were just starting to work towards GDPR compliance.
“In 2018, we expect that many organisations are compliant with the GDPR or are working towards it. However, we do expect to find a few companies who have not begun their project yet, which considering the law will come into force on 25 May 2018 and imposes extortionate fines for companies that are in breach with the Regulation, is concerning.”
The 2017 GDPR Report emphasised the lack of skills and resources required to help organisations achieve GDPR compliance as one of the main challenges faced by organisations. Furthermore, results suggested that professionals were struggling with conducting risk assessments, creating policies and procedures, and conducting a data protection impact assessment or a data audit in compliance with the Regulation.
IT Governance would like to hear from data protection professionals about what their business is doing, or planning to do, in order to achieve compliance with the GDPR. All the responses to the survey will be treated anonymously and participants can opt in to receive a copy of the report.
Moreover, participants in the GDPR Survey have the chance to win a £350 IT Governance voucher, which can be used on their own professional development or to help support GDPR compliance projects.
