GDPR Privacy by Design focus for DQM GRC
GRC International Group plc (LSE:GRC), a leading privacy and cybersecurity specialist, is pleased to announce the launch of a new website for its subsidiary, DQM GRC, focused on its award winning Privacy by Design capability and market leading position in services for commercial data owners.
Privacy by Design is a regulatory requirement under the General Data Protection Regulation, which requires organisations to implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to safeguard personal data. Increased customer awareness of privacy considerations and recent legal cases such as the CJEU's decisions regarding international data transfers, along with the prospect of fines of up to 4% of global groupwide turnover for privacy failings, make Privacy by Design an important strategy for any organisation developing and launching data-driven products and services.
DQM GRC won 'Best Privacy by Design' at the DMA Awards and 'Best Privacy and Data Ethics Initiative' at the DataIQ awards for its work with client WarnerMedia in 2020.
Alan Calder, CEO of GRC International Group, said: "DQM GRC was founded in 1996 to help organisations commercialise their data assets. Privacy by Design is essential to that strategy and I am delighted to announce this new website showcasing the team's award-winning credentials in this area."
