Within companies, GDPR compliance is an enterprise-wide business problem requiring a massive cross-departmental effort that touches upon oversight, technology, processes, and people. With fines for violations that could be as high as €20 million or 4% of global annual revenue, now is the time to ensure your data environment is flexible enough to meet the needs of current and future regulatory regimes.

Mark Donsky and Steven Ross outline the capabilities your data environment needs to simplify compliance with GDPR and future regulations.
