Overview of GDPR - Towns and municipalities

Overview of GDPR - Towns and municipalities

Since 25 May 2018, the General Regulation on the Protection of Personal Data (GDPR) of the European Parliament and the EU Council brought significant changes concerning all towns and municipalities in the territory of the Slovak Republic. These changes mean not only extensive administrative tasks, but also technical and organizational measures that these organizations will have to take shortly.

These changes include in particular:

- obligatory appointment of a Data Protection Officer (DPO) for all towns and municipalities
- obligation to report all information systems (IS) again
- new forms and security documentation in accordance with GDPR
- harmonization of data protection measures across the EU
- obligation to report and document security incidents
- liquidation fines up to 20 mil. € or 4% of turnover, whichever is greater

Why to act now?

The impact of GDPR on organizations in the territory of Slovakia is estimated at 1.3 million entities. It is logically necessary that, with the growing demand for personal data protection services, the cost of drafting documentation and providing DPO performance will also increase. In this case, the simple rule applies - the sooner the better.
