According to a recent YouGov<\/i> poll, almost 2\/3rd<\/sup>s of UK businesses are unaware of the sanctions they could face after next year’s GDPR comes into place, with fines of up to <\/span>\u20ac<\/span>20m for the the biggest companies.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A startling 62% of businesses surveyed had not even heard of the GDPR.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, UK businesses can be fined up to \u00a3500,000 for a breach of data protection. Next year, from 25 May 2018, this will jump to either <\/span>\u20ac<\/span>20m or 4% of the company’s global turnover. A fifth of those companies surveyed conceded the possible impacts of the fines would push them out of business.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite some businesses being aware there were upcoming changes, very few knew the scale of the fines. Unsurprisingly, the majority were smaller businesses, with just 22% having heard of the rules, whereas 43% of medium-sized and 56% large businesses had so.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Staggeringly, nearly half (57%) of financial services companies knew of the changes. Media and marketing came bottom of the list.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the topic has been very much in the public domain, nearly a quarter of the businesses surveyed said they would probably not even know when a data breach occurred.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

They need to learn. And quickly. Last year, the number of fines for data breaches almost doubled, and jumped from \u00a3541,000 to an eye-watering \u00a33.2m. These will undoubtedly rise after the implementation of the new rules next Summer.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Businesses need to be clear about how data is collected and stored, and a breach must be reported to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) within 3 days.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, it is important that British businesses understand that, while \u201cBrexit means Brexit\u201d, Brexit does not<\/i> mean the compliance with the Brussels-enforced GDPR can stop. This is happening.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
