The European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation is currently in draft form, but it is essentially an evolution of the existing EU Data Protection Directive. The goal of the new legislation is to take the core elements of the directive and update them based on requirements of globalized electronic commerce and technology trends like cloud computing.

Regardless of precisely how the updated regulatory law looks when it is completed, some core values will likely remain the same. One of those values is the way the EU prioritizes personal privacy and emphasizes that organizations operating outside of the EU still need to protect EU citizen data based on EU laws.

With stricter standards for data privacy, organizations handling personal data pertaining to EU citizens need to make sure they carefully control who can access that information.
