GDPR day has been and gone. Are you compliant?
Let me explain about compliancy. Being GDPR compliant is not a tick in the box. I work with lots of businesses of varying sizes and none of them are 100% compliant, 100% of the time.
What you can have in place are robust policies and procedures, which guide the organisation and show the best practice that should be operating. You can train your staff in those procedures and make sure that they are aware of what they need to be doing.
But it only takes one person to be hurrying, not concentrating or unclear about what they need to be doing to make a mistake. That mistake could lead to a data breach.
