by Tom Ström
June 5, 2024
In today's digital world, websites collect a vast amount of user data. But with great data collection comes great responsibility. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) imposes strict rules on how companies in the EU (and those dealing with EU residents) handle personal data. Non-compliance can lead to hefty fines, reputational damage, and even legal action. This is where GDPR monitoring becomes crucial.
What is GDPR monitoring?
Think of GDPR monitoring as a digital guardian for your website. It's the ongoing process of scanning your webpages for potential vulnerabilities that could expose user data or violate GDPR regulations.
Why is GDPR monitoring important?
Here are just a few reasons why GDPR monitoring should be a top priority for your website:
- Avoid Costly Fines: GDPR violations can result in fines up to €20 million or 4 % of your annual global turnover, whichever is higher.Regular monitoring helps identify and address issues before they become expensive problems.
- Protect User Privacy: Building trust with your audience is essential.GDPR monitoring ensures you're handling user data responsibly and upholding their privacy rights.
- Maintain Compliance: Data privacy regulations are constantly evolving.Monitoring keeps you updated on the latest requirements and ensures your website remains compliant.
