It has been five years since the GDPR came fully into force. We now have a good idea of how data protection will be interpreted and should be applied. We also understand that it's always a moving target with internal organisation changes, external guidance, sanctions, and judgement needing to be understood and addressed.

2022 was a year of significant data protection landscape updates. The Data Protection Commission (DPC) is working towards more enforcement than guidance.

At the beginning of 2022, the full impact of GDPR is becoming more apparent. The implications of regulatory decisions indicate the bar is rising when it comes to assessing what compliance means.

When the GDPR came into effect on May 25th, 2018, it was clear that significant fines were designed to make non-compliance a costly mistake for organisations.
Mazars data protection newsletter - Issue 4
What is the impact of GDPR? One year in and the jury is still out. There have been only 41 published sanctions from data protection authorities across Europe in the first year: 21 of these were imposed by the UK’s ICO and 2 from Ireland’s DPC.
