Compliance Advice for FCA Data Protection
Compliance with GDPR is essential as there are significant implications for getting it wrong. Fines can be up to €20 million or 4% of annual global turnover, whichever is higher. There’s the reputational risk as well to consider as individuals are becoming more aware of how their personal data is being used (or misused as the case may be!) and about their rights. And, there is a significant amount of cross-over with other regulations most notably the FCA rules and regulations. Breach GDPR as a regulated firm and the FCA will be interested in what’s happened and why.
