GDPR is the General Data Protection Regulation which comes into force in May 2018 if anyone was asking!

Goggle the Information Commisioners Office (ICO) for all the information you require.

We started to look at this in earnest last October. We have reps from each part of the business working as a focus group and they are looking at the data we hold. Don't believe anyone who says if you were compliant under the old DPA then there should be no problem under the GDPR. Once you get in to the potential implications and asking questions of suppliers and third parties you will find things are not as simple as you might think. Let alone sorting out the historical data you hold and gaining consent etc. If you are just starting out on the journey (and depending on the nature of your business) you may find you are not ready for 'D' day. But then I suspect you will not be alone. One comforting thought is that I understand that the ICO will not be charging round looking for people who are not compliant. They will only be reacting to complaints that get made.

If it helps, GDPR and its compliance is very similar to ISO 27001, so if you or your company is ISO 9001 as many are it's quite simple to implement running along the same ANNEX SL.
