• Carry out a risk and impact assessment, enabling them to plan and implement the necessary measures to reduce the impact of potential damage linked to the protection of personal data.
• Implement the ‘security by default’ rule,which requires all organisations to have a secure IT system.
• Revise procedures for managing personal dataso as to adapt them to the new regulations and support them with concrete measures to strengthen protection.
