GDPR compliance

Answer:

The EU GDPR is the most complex piece of regulation up to date and one of the few that have extra territorial reach. The requirements for both controllers and processors go beyond other pieces of legislation across the world. Also the fines that can go up to 4% of a company turnover are one of the heftiest out there.

2. Others you are familiar with that are tough?

Answer:

The only one that I can think of because is similar to the GDPR is the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) – a first-of-its-kind US law – passed in California in 2018 and takes effect January 1, 2020.

3. Any multi-country comparison doc or docs on the web you have come across?
