2. Be Prepared for Faster Breach Notification 

GDPR needs companies that recognize a data breach to notify officials within 

72 hours of identification. 

 

3. Stimulate Breach and Attack Scenarios 

In order to be provided for compliant breach notification, organizations 

should confirm that the plans they have in place will work through breach and 

attack simulations.  

 

4. Train Everyone 

Each and every worker should work together for GDPR compliance. It is not 

only the duty of the IT and security department, everyone has to work 

together for this. So, it is important to train every employee in the 

organization as soon as possible to save the company from data breaches and 

from heavy penalties. 

 

5. Appoint a Data Protection Officer  

Most organizations must appoint a data protection officer (DPO) within 

the company under the regulation, and many are handling this by appointing 

existing people within the company and simply expanding roles.
