GDPR Resources

GDPR . . . You’ve probably seen the acronym, but what is it? GDPR stands for General Data Protection Policy. GDPR is basically a set of rules and regulations that digitally monitors and keeps a tab on how the citizen’s data is being processed and for what pur­poses. GDPR imposes new requirements for how organizations process and maintain personal data for people residing within the European Union.

If you’re not doing business in Europe and are not collecting data on individuals within Europe such as members, customers, conference or show attendees, you’re probably not impacted by GDPR. However organizations are involved with Europe and need to be concerned with GDPR. The May 25th date for compliance is looming. Many organizations are not ready. Many organizations have a lot of questions, but don’t know where to get the information they need. We’ve compiled a list of resources that may help you. Many of the resources available are commercial in nature, but contain valuable information and you may have to sometimes sort the wheat from the chaff. Please note that inclusion on the list below does not imply any type of endorsement by CSAE, either of the companies, authors, or products that may be mentioned in the resource. If you run across any resources that you think should be added to the list, let us know.
