Until the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) not only comes into effect, but actually produces a body of precedents on what exactly constitutes a violation subject to a fine (which, remember, can be as high as €20 million or 4% of annual global turnover, whichever is greater), the margin for interpreting which procedures and oversight needs to be in place will remain wide. What we do know for now is that companies will have to adopt an explicit approach to data governance, including data profiling, data quality, data lineage, data masking, test-data management, data analysis, and data archives.
As data scientists, software engineers, and operators, we need to actively cover all bases, not only because the GDPR tell us to, but also because it makes business sense to establish proactive data governance and adequate privacy controls. Our customers will be thankful, our reputation will be safeguarded, and crippling fines will be avoided. This e-mag specifically addresses those three overlapping but distinct perspectives on the impact of the GDPR.
