Since the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) came into effect in May 2018, organisations have been required to keep a close eye on the way they process and protect EU residents’ personal data.
The Regulation is filled with so many complex requirements that it can be hard to keep track of everything you’re supposed to do.
To help make things a little easier, we’ve collated some of our free resources to help you get to grips with the GDPR. Our list contains a variety of guides, including webinars, infographics and books.
