5 reasons, why the EU GDPR is not just an annoying stone on the path
1/22/2018 If you are personally involved in getting your company ready for 25 May 2018, I fully understand why you may think that the GDPR is just another annoying stone on the path. Lots of extra work — and who needs that?
I can’t help you avoid the GDPR. Just like rain, lying politicians, and death — the GDPR is inevitable.
But have you taken the time to consider why the EU proposed the GDPR in the first place? If not — spend five minutes with me to learn why, and pick up what I believe are some sound free advice on the way.
The good people in Brussels had 4 very good reasons
- Improve the protection of individuals.
- Regulate the export of personal data to servers outside of EU, where little or no protection exists.
- Put citizens back in control of their own data, instead of leaving everything to the likes of Facebook and Google.
- And believe it or not — to make it easier to be an international business, by creating a single uniform set of rules inside the EU.
I don’t know how you rate this, but in my book, all four are actually very noble reasons. I’m a citizen too, and so are my sons. I hate the thought that any one of them in the future would not be able to take out a life insurance, just because someone profiled me as having bad genes, and profiled him to share these gens. And yes — that’s also a consequence of GDPR — they can’t just do that.
So that’s 4 good reasons.
— what’s the 5th?
Once you are through preparing your company for GDPR, you will have the foundation for a much smarter, leaner, and more efficient company.
But chances are — you won’t be ready on 25 May 2018
