GDPR 1 Year Later - Survey Results

It has been a year since the GDPR legislation came into effect across Europe, with the aim to give consumers more power and control over how their personal information is used. We recently asked through an anonymous survey how businesses were getting on since the legislation came into effect. 

The results found that for the most part businesses did see a decrease in their data volume, but an overall improvement of its quality. While we can all agree that preparing for GDPR had its many headaches, the legislation has proven to be beneficial to many different industries. Below are the results from our survey. Do you agree with the findings?

11. Any other comments around GDPR?

Our business was already risk averse this has sent that into overdrive. Projects are paralysed behind the single person burdened with looking after GDPR”

It needs to be used as a framework for what we do rather than the driver of what we do”

A typical EU non-sense”
