Build privacy into your security program by gaining compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
GDPR Compliance Solutions Services
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is one of the most rigorous standards for the collection and use of personal information (PI), otherwise known as personal data.
Previously, only companies based in the European Union (EU) collecting personal data from EU citizens needed to follow this standard. Now, any company doing business in the EU needs to comply with it, including companies based in the United States.
General Data Protection Regulation Compliance
GDPR compliance became mandatory on May 28, 2018. Its purpose is to allow EU residents to better control who uses their data and why. The standard also helps improve data security in part by creating a unified standard for PI for companies who do business in the EU.
At Solvere One, our team helps US companies nationwide implement successful measures to comply with the GDPR and avoid penalties.




What Is Personal Data as Defined by the GDPR?
The GDPR considers personal data to include any information that relates to an individual or can be used to identify an individual directly or indirectly. Understandably, this is a broad definition, so the GDPR provides some specific examples:
- NAMES AND EMAIL ADDRESSES
- LOCATION INFORMATION
- BIOMETRIC DATA
- ETHNICITY, GENDER, RELIGIOUS BELIEFS
- WEB COOKIES
- POLITICAL OPINIONS
- PSEUDONYMOUS DATA
if it’s easy to identify the individual it pertains to other information including photos, bank information, or ip addresses.
Penalties for Non-Compliance
Being ignorant of the GDPR isn’t considered an excuse for non-compliance.
If you’re a US company collecting personal information from EU residents, you must follow protocol or face financial ramifications.
The fines cannot exceed 20 million euros or 4% of global revenue, whichever number is higher.
In addition, any EU citizens affected by your misuse or compromised security of their information can seek damages.
What Are The GDPR Requirements
The GDPR outlines different requirements that companies collecting personal data on EU citizens must comply with. Among them include:
This is not a complete list. You must also have consent from the individual to process their PI, as defined by the GDPR. This means permission is given freely and clearly, and subjects can decide to renounce their consent at any point. Your business may also be obligated to appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO), a person responsible for maintaining GDPR compliance at your organization.
