MediSpend to Host GDPR Webinar to Share Key Implementation Compliance Concepts in Advance of May 25 Deadline

PORTSMOUTH, N.H., May 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- MediSpend will host GDPR webinars throughout the day on Tuesday, May 8, at 7 A.M., 12 P.M. and 3 P.M. EDT, in advance of the upcoming deadline at the end of the month. The webinar will discuss the disparity between the right to data privacy and the right to data protection in the E.U., the definition of personal data, principles of fair processing and the impact on American life sciences companies.

"Our aim is to eliminate confusion surrounding GDPR, clearly define what personal data is and to help ensure awareness for all companies, including life sciences, that need to be ready," said chief knowledge officer, Tim Robinson, Esq. "The impact of GDPR is wide, even though a company may not be based in Europe, if it has any involvement with personal data of individuals in the E.U., then global compliance is mandatory."

Data protection regulation in the E.U. increased steadily as technology continues to pervade nearly all facets of life. GDPR is the most complex, comprehensive data regulation in the world to date. In the coming years, global compliance solutions delivering an increased standard of data privacy will become the expectation around the world.

"The intricacies of this new regulation are immense," said Neeraj Singhal, vice president, products. "The implementation of the necessary procedures to ensure global compliance is a massive undertaking that affects multiple stakeholders within an organization. Our goal is to provide as much information to life sciences companies and share potential solutions to provide support with the deadline fast approaching."
