5 common GDPR mistakes – and how training can fix them
Most GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) breaches arise from everyday slip-ups, such as missing DSAR (data subject access request) deadlines, picking the wrong lawful basis for processing, failing to enforce retention periods, keeping inadequate records or misreporting incidents.
