European Data Protection

While the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) promises to unify the approaches of the EU member states, it brings forth challenges as organisations work toward compliance with this robust and comprehensive regulation. Based on the body of knowledge for the Certified Information Privacy Professional/Europe (CIPP/E) certification (ANSI accredited under ISO 17024:2012), European Data Protection is the essential text on the GDPR, pan-European, and national data protection laws.

European Data Protection reviews concepts, criteria and obligations of the GDPR and related laws, examines the territorial and material scope of the GDPR, legitimate processing criteria, information provision obligations, data subjects’ rights, security of processing, accountability requirements, and supervision and enforcement. The book also provides practical concepts concerning the protection of personal data and cross-border data transfers.

This second edition includes updated information about GDPR enforcement actions, along with guidance – relative to GDPR regulations – from authorities and regulators, including the European Data Protection Board (EDPB).

Global data protection practitioners and CIPP/E certification candidates will all find this to be an invaluable reference guide.
