Information security and data protection for SMEs

Get to Know Akarion's GRC Solutions

Legal Requirements: Data Protection, Information Security and their Complexity

Are you faced with an increasing density and complexity of regulatory requirements? No wonder, with a plethora of new regulations coming into force every year. Especially when it comes to data protection and information security, it can be difficult to keep track. National data protection and information security laws and the European General Data Protection Regulation are just the tip of the iceberg. The list could be extended to include countless other national regulations.

In addition, it is important to keep abreast of and implement the latest case law in the field of data protection and information security (e.g. Schrems II and Google Analytics).

SMEs Hampered by Lack of Information

There is also a strong information asymmetry between large companies and SMEs. While large companies can rely on specialists in their legal departments when new regulations come into force, in SMEs it is often the managing director himself or non-specialist staff who are responsible for monitoring and ensuring compliance. In addition, large companies tend to organise themselves into stakeholder groups, through which they are informed of relevant legislative changes at an early stage. SMEs, on the other hand, find it difficult to identify the changes and new regulations that are relevant to them.

The Way to Compliance

But even once the relevant regulations have been identified, implementing them is a major challenge. In particular, setting up a privacy and information security management system is a hurdle that cannot be overcome alone. After all, a large number of documents need to be created and managed, processes defined, tasks assigned and regular reviews carried out - all in close coordination with other departments in the company. It is often difficult to maintain a strict separation between information security and data protection. The unfortunate result: double the effort and little return.
