With the rapid growth in data storage solutions, many organisations no longer see data retention as a high-cost item. The temptation to retain all things data is so strong and with greater access to technology due to reduced costs, perpetual retention of both manual and electronic data may be perceived as convenient and not necessarily expedient as it involves “a lot work”. But with this comes increased exposure to the risk of data loss, unauthorised access, and ultimately, reputational damage. Retaining data indefinitely without a legal basis or justification can constitute an infringement under GDPR can attract fines.

GDPR comes packaged with requirements that encourage accountability and governance for the protection of personal data for organizations involved in the processing of such. Accountability is now an important and explicit requirement under GDPR. Simply put, accountability requires that organisations process personal data lawfully and accurately in a transparent manner. There must be one or more legitimate reasons why personal data is effectively processed and where appropriate, minimally retained.

Individuals have been conferred with specific rights under GDPR. Known as rights of the data subject, these rights include an individual’s ability to establish the existence of all personal information held about him or her by an organisation as well as the right to make a copy of such information available on request.

GDPR comes with a requirement for organizations to take a risk based approach when processing personal data. This is particularly relevant where data processing can pose a high risk to the fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals. A risk based approach is defined as a process that facilitates the identification of privacy related risks and subsequently allows for development of strategies to mitigate the impact of such risks.

Data Breaches are an increasingly common occurrence in today’s technologically driven world. News of enterprise level data breaches continues to grace news headlines daily. GDPR imposes notification obligation on organizations, failure of which can incur sanctions as well as effective, proportionate and dissuasive fines. An organization may get over and eventually forget a data breach occurrence, those who have been affected by the breach do not.
