The world is facing an era in which technology has a crucial impact on the growth of businesses. It is claimed that in 2020 20 billion devices will be connected to the internet, therefore, data is crucial for employees, customers and organisations. The implementation of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) gives the owner better control of their personal data. Consequently, organisations must be prepared to face cutting-edge threats to security in order to protect individuals against potential harm caused by unauthorized access to their data. Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) is a policy which provides some flexibility within organisations, and which results in better commitment in employees. This chapter analyses the impact of GDPR in BYOD architectures and proposes the integration of a multi-layer policy with an Information Governance Framework to ensure data privacy, focusing on the human factor when protecting personal devices.

Over the last decade, the prevalence of new computing devices with greater processing power and ubiquitous internet-ready devices helped to facilitate the creation and sharing of vast amounts of data. This has brought increased risks to personal data and rendered previous regulations on data privacy less effective in the new digital age. The GDPR regulation was introduced across EU states on the 25th of May 2018 and brought radical changes that govern activities around the processing and sharing of data and how the protection of personal data is administered by various organisations. GDPR necessitates the re-assessment of existing frameworks in order to meet new requirements outlined in the articles and recitals of the regulation. This research addresses the existing challenges of integrating GDPR into incident response and breach notification plans, and proposes a conceptual Decision Support System (DSS) to address the challenges identified. Existing industry standard frameworks such as ISO27001, NIST, and SANS were analysed alongside Focus Group interviews with subject matter experts to gather feedback on the relevance and applicability of a DSS to meet GDPR compliance requirements. The findings of the study reveal a number of compliance gaps in existing incident handling frameworks which could be mitigated by employing decision support techniques as proposed in the study.

This chapter presents the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) approved for the European Union, which has consequences not only for all the stakeholders of the information technology industry, but also for all of those engaged in industrial or commercial activities in the European Union.

The concepts and principles of the GDPR are presented and discussed as well as the implications of this regulation in data protection and in organisational cyber security practices. The financial implications for companies are discussed and an overview of the history of recent fines and recent trends is presented.

Conclusions are drawn on the importance of compliance and a recommendation is made that organisations choose to hire the services of multidisciplinary companies specialized in GDPR compliance.
