Frequently Asked Questions about Data Protection & GDPR

What is GDPR and why is it important?

GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) is an EU regulation that has been in force since 25 May 2018. The aim is to protect individuals' personal data and strengthen their rights. The regulation imposes requirements on how organizations collect, store and use personal data — in a legal, fair and transparent manner. GDPR is important because it clarifies both responsibilities and obligations when handling personal data.

How does GDPR affect our organization?

GDPR affects all organizations that handle personal data. This means that organizations need, among other things:

- Have a legal basis for processing personal data
- Inform individuals about how their personal data is used
- Ensure that personal data is accurate and up to date
- Implement technical and organizational security measures
- Report personal data breaches to supervisory authorities within 72 hours
- Document and be able to show that you are complying with GDPR

In short, organizations need clear procedures and structures that protect individuals' personal data.

How can we ensure that we comply with GDPR?

By working in a structured and continuous manner. Among other things, it is about:

  • map and document personal data processing
  • introduce technical and organisational protection
  • educate the organization
  • Continuous monitoring and improvement of work

With the right tools and support, it will be much easier.

What happens if we do not comply with GDPR?

If you do not comply with GDPR, you may face sanctions, including:

- Warnings and reprimands: For minor infractions.
- Fines: Up to 20 million euros or 4% of the global annual turnover, whichever is the highest. For the public sector, a maximum amount of SEK 8 million applies.
- Prohibition: Temporary or permanent prohibition on the processing of personal data.

What does a GDPR consultant do?

A GDPR consultant helps organizations understand and comply with GDPR. They can:
- Identify the personal data processed.
- Carry out risk assessments and create action plans.
- Implement new procedures and write governance documents.
- Educate staff about GDPR and IT security.
- Ensure compliance with the GDPR within the organization.

If you need a GDPR consultant, you are welcome to contact us.

Do we need a Data Protection Officer?

Some organisations are required by the GDPR to appoint a Data Protection Officer (DSO). This applies, among other things, to:

  • public authorities and bodies
  • organizations that extensively monitor individuals
  • organizations that process sensitive personal data on a large scale

Other organisations voluntarily choose to appoint Data Protection Officers in order to obtain quality, independent review and continuity of data protection work.
