SYNTAX presented the new European Data Protection Regulation which applies on 25 May 2018, and whose violations or non-compliance will result penalties of up to 4% of organisation’s worldwide turnover for each breach.

SYNTAX, as major sponsor of the 1st Data Privacy & Protection Conference on June 23 at the PLAZA Conference Center (Athens, Greece), showcased the company’s I.T. Consulting Services & Solutions.

SYNTAX’s Information Security Governance Risk & Compliance Director, Mr. Panagiotis Kalantzis, emphasised the need for immediate business action. Taking measures to comply with systems, policies, staff training & the confirmation of compliance with the GDPR is a complex issue that requires strategic planning for cost and time effectiveness.
