FAQ
The difference between the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) regulation and certification can be captured in the following main points:
1. GDPR Regulation:
- Purpose: The GDPR is an EU regulation that governs data protection and privacy when processing personal data of individuals in the EU.
- Mandatory: Compliance with the GDPR is mandatory for all organisations that process personal data of EU citizens, whether the organisation is located inside or outside the EU.
- Scope: covers the rules on the processing of personal data, including the collection, processing, storage and sharing of data.
- Consequences:Violations can result in heavy fines of up to €20 million or up to 4% of a company’s annual global turnover.
2. Certification:
- Purpose: Certification is a formal process that certifies that an organisation, product or system meets certain standards or specifications. Certification can help a company to demonstrate GDPR compliance, but is not in itself mandatory.
- Mandatory: Not mandatory, but can be an advantage in the marketplace by building trust in the company’s privacy practices.
- Scope: GDPR-compliant certifications (such as privacy seals or certificates) can help an organisation demonstrate its data protection compliance to external parties.
- Consequences: certification is voluntary, but it can be used to demonstrate compliance and help avoid fines for GDPR violations.
In summary, GDPR is a mandatory regulation that sets out the standards for data protection, while certification is a voluntary tool that can help demonstrate compliance, but is not a substitute for GDPR compliance.
