Human rights have a strong place within Europe, part of this includes the fundamental right to privacy. Over the years, individual privacy has strengthened through various European directives. With the evolution of privacy continuing in Europe through the release of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), how will the latest iteration of European Union (EU) regulation affect organisations and what will information security leaders need to do to meet this change? This paper will explore the evolution of privacy in Europe, the objectives and changes this iteration of EU privacy regulation will provide, what challenges organisations will experience, and how information security could be leveraged to satisfy the regulation.
