GDPR Compliance is a Continuous Journey

Baker McKenzie and BearingPoint have joined forces to launch a GDPR Survey, which aims to understand the compliance journeys that organizations have gone through since the GDPR came into force in May 2018.

Despite the fact that most of our clients have set up their GDPR priorities and already experienced benefits of their GDPR projects, many of them are still struggling on their way to full GDPR compliance.

• 71% of respondents agree that GDPR compliance brought operational benefits.
• among key GDPR priorities, clients mention preparation and roll out of internal procedures, sub-contractors contracts review, and review of consent/information notices.
• Over half of respondents (54%) estimate they are in ‘run mode’ in their compliance journey.

We continue to explore the survey results to provide an insightful look into the GDPR compliance journeys across various geographies and sectors. We will release the full survey in autumn/fall 2019.
