With fines of up to & euro; 20 million or 4 % of global turnover (whichever is greater), the EU G eneral Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the single most important data protection law that has hit Enterprise Data Management in history. The cost of complying with what is these days already considered an international s tandard for privacy management, has already forced many companies controlli ng and processing personal data to leave the EU market, close key businesse s and even shut down entirely.

Driven by the real-world needs and use cases of Proximus, Deutsche Telekom and Thomson Reuters, industry giants and project partners, SPECIAL aims to deliver technology which would enable:\n\n Personal data discovery in large enterprise environments\n Efficient and legal acquisition of data subjects’ consent\n Tracking data usage, along with the context it is being used in\n Compliance with both legislative and user-specified policies for all data p rocessing activities\n Privacy-aware, secure workflows with access control\n Performance and scalability, and\n Mechanisms for control and feedback, making privacy in Big Data comprehensi ble and manageable for data subjects, controllers, and processors alike.\n\ n DTSTART:20190320T083000 SUMMARY:Cutting Through Red Tape: GDPR and Innovation in Large Enterprise E nvironments DTEND:20190320T092959 LOCATION: See Description END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
