RedLegg Offers New GDPR Compliance Services

GENEVA, Ill., Jan. 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- With the deadline a little over five months away, the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is considered the most important change in data privacy regulation in 20 years.  It affects every organization in the world that processes the data of European Union (EU) citizens, and takes effect May 25, 2018.  Gartner predicts that by the end of 2018, more than 50% of companies affected by GDPR will fail to comply fully with its requirements.
