Overview
The EU regulation on personal data protection, in force since 25 May 2018. Governs how organisations collect, store, and process personal data of EU/UK residents.
Lexradar tracks every change to GDPR and surfaces it in your compliance feed, mapped to the specific clauses your team is responsible for.
Who uses GDPR
GDPR is the de jure or de facto standard for information security, privacy, and operational resilience in the following contexts:
- Regulated financial services firms (banks, insurers, payment service providers).
- SaaS companies selling to enterprise and public-sector buyers.
- Healthcare organisations handling personal health information.
- Critical infrastructure operators and their supply chain.
- Any organisation subject to overlapping regional and sectoral requirements.
