GDPR & Cybersecurity Vandelanotte

GDPR & privacy

Europe is striving to return the control of personal data to the individual. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR for short) requires all companies and professionals to take the necessary measures for protecting personal data (with a focus on employee, supplier, customer or patient data). It is essential that they adopt the necessary organisational and technical measures in this context. The European legislation entered into force on 25 May 2018 and was transposed into Belgian legislation on 5 September 2018.

Companies that do not have a robust data security policy in place are not only at risk of receiving a hefty fine in the event of infringements; they are also exposed to major reputational damage. Fines can amount to 4 percent of consolidated revenue. Our team of specialists is happy to guide you through your privacy challenges and requirements, and to work with you in drafting a suitable data security policy.

Cyber security and information security

Our digital society continuously confronts us with new technology. Whilst this is associated with numerous benefits, such as expedited information, knowledge and innovation, therein also lies a danger. Indeed, personal information (or data) is increasingly misused by rogue parties (such as hackers).

We are happy to advise you on all the organisational and technical measures required to guarantee the security of your critical business data. This consequently ensures the continuity, integrity and availability of your organisation. Our team of specialists actively supports your business in tackling your cyber and information security challenges and requirements using a highly pragmatic and collaborative approach.
