**White Paper GDPR**

GDPR, or General Data Protection Regulation, is a set of European rules and standards related to privacy and data governance. It is not just for European companies, but for any company doing business in Europe or with European customers. The regulation requires the active consent of customers and gives them new portability powers to control the transfer of their own information. It sets up significant penalties for non-compliance. All of this went into effect May 2018.

This white paper illustrates the principles of the regulation and shows how your company can meet the requirements with a system for document management and workflow automation. It also provides guidance on how to design a company-wide compliance strategy.
