Data protection, ensuring that sensitive personal data is treated properly in complex IT systems, has been a priority for CGI for many years. It is a business wide issue that requires an understanding of what data is held, why it is held, how it is processed and how it is protected.
GDPR is the latest set of legislation requiring organisations that acquire, process, store or communicate sensitive personal data to do so with greater care. Ensuring that the security of the systems involved is appropriate is only one of the tasks that GDPR will demand of a modern digital organisation.
