[kictanet] Data Protection Bill

[Baiju Shah]

Hi All,

We have been looking at the whole area of data protection and now have good
handle on the GDPR compliance as this will hit all doing business with the
compliance requirements with the European Union.

We further have been surprised by the ignorance displayed by the local
organisations be it a ngo, public sector operator or a private enterprise.
Furthermore, if not taken seriously a very small process fix could hamper
your business, and the fines related to GDPR are hefty from the European
Union.

If anybody requires help in being compliant we are offering to audit their
business and provide recommendations as part of our cyber security practice.

Thanks,

Best Regards,
Baiju Shah
