GDPR Legislation & Compliance
Who's Affected?
Every UK business that processes personal data is subject to GDPR. HR departments are especially impacted, as they manage sensitive employee information daily.
Key Dates
Although GDPR originated in the EU and came into force on 25 May 2018, the UK retained its own version post-Brexit. The UK GDPR now works alongside the Data Protection Act 2018, and compliance remains mandatory.
Non-Compliance Risks
Failure to comply can result in:
- Fines of up to £17.5 million or 4% of annual global turnover
- Reputational damage
- Legal action from employees or regulators
