Protect your data from theft & ensure you're compliant with GDPR legislation
On 25th May 2018, the new GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) legislation came into effect and applies to all individuals and organisations who store data. Fines of up to £500,000 or 4% of annual turnover are set to be imposed on anyone who does not comply or suffers a data breach.
