Two months before the GDPR comes into force, more than a third of Romanian companies still do not know what it is or believe it does not apply to them.
The General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR for short, will come into force on May 25, 2018, the date from which it must be applied by all companies in the European Union.
Although at a superficial glance one might think that GDPR only refers to very sensitive customer data, such as that related to tax records, health information, etc., the reality is quite different.
How prepared are Romanian companies for GDPR compliance?
The regulation refers to any type of personal data and applies to all companies that hold and process such data. And since almost all companies process data at least about their employees and customers, they implicitly become subject to GDPR.
This is why the regulation affects most companies, whether large or very small, whether they target end consumers or business clients.
Starting from this premise, MKOR Consulting specialists addressed a series of questions to decision-makers in Romanian companies to find out how well they have prepared for the changes expected from May 25, 2018.
The information obtained was aggregated into this white paper, which we invite you to download for free.

The MKOR Consulting study was conducted between February 9-20, through an online questionnaire applied to a sample of 252 business respondents, entrepreneurs, and decision-makers from Romanian companies.
53% of the represented companies are micro-enterprises, 19% large companies, 18% medium-sized companies, and 9% small enterprises.
