❓ Hur tar du kontroll över din verksamhets ostrukturerade data?

👉 GDPR handlar om alla personuppgifter, även i 'ostrukturerade' datakällor som mejl och dokument.

👉 Vissa är inte medvetna om de skärpta kraven och andra saknar de resurser som krävs för att dokumentera och få kontroll över sin information.

Men det finns hjälp att få! 👍

👂 Lyssna in på samtalet mellan Greger Wikstrand, Chief architect och CTO, CGI och Karl-Oskar Brännström, jurist och VD, Aigine AB lett av Fredrik Uggla Strahl, privacy consultant CGI Sverige.

1️⃣ GDPR andra andningen
2️⃣ Ta kontroll över dina personuppgifter

"Lack of information classification and lack of competence are the biggest obstacles to secure IT operations."

None of the 200 agencies that participated in the IT Operations Inquiry survey had conducted information classification of their data, in spite of "the key to a flexible and cost-effective use of cloud services is a well-executed information classification" and that "a systematic information security work and information classification is the basis for being able to take the correct decisions."

A well-implemented and continuously updated information classification is therefore a prerequisite for the systematic information security work, the use of cloud services and compliance with the GDPR.

Aigine Inventory automates this essential information classification with world-leading data mining from IBM and collaborative, continuously trained, artificial intelligence.

Bam!

Data protection authorities MUST:
- Investigate all complaints from data subjects with due diligence.
- Take action against all or any found non-compliance towards the GDPR.
- Chose an action that ensures that the GDPR is fully enforced.

This is probably the closest to a direct order we have seen from the European Court of Justice towards national authorities.

The need for harmonization has been evident for quite some time, where some DPAs uses fines to enforce the GDPR, and others are focusing on proactive guidelines.

The message from CJEU is clear.

We are entering the era of halted transfers, forbidden personal data processing and dissuasive fines.

As most have noticed, the decision communicated by the European Court of Justice, CJEU, the 16th of July in the Schrems II case has made the usage of American cloud services, if not impossible, so at least a lot more complicated. We will get plenty of opportunities to return to Schrems II and its im...
