Business as usual for IT asset lifecycle specialist SK tes
It’s time to stop the scaremongering surrounding GDPR, according to a global leader in the management and IT asset disposition services. As the May 2018 deadline looms, SK tes explains how savvy businesses, which embrace the new data protection laws, will be able to effectively track assets and reduce overall IT cost and environmental impact.
The new General Data Protect Regulation (GDPR) (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) came into force Europe-wide in May 2018 and replaced Data Protection legislation.
The new EU driven regime is aimed at giving citizens back control of their personal data and brings with it a number of stringent responsibilities for companies regarding data storage, cleansing, monitoring and management as a whole. Despite this and the possibility of potential fines of up to up to £17.5 million or 4% of your annual worldwide turnover, whichever is higher, according to the ICO.
SK tes, a company specialising in data sanitisation, management and security have issued some guidance for UK businesses after conducting their own research into the area.
A whitepaper published by SK tes advises businesses to take sensible, precautionary steps regarding the new laws, but avoid the culture of fear that many are trying to create around the topic.
SK tes also assist businesses with environmentally compliant electronic waste recycling, IT asset recovery and managed deployment of IT projects. SK tes recommend businesses embrace GDPR as it will ultimately lead to greater efficiency.
