But how prepared are you to take the steps necessary for compliance?Recent research by cloud security company Netskope found that “only 21% of IT professionals in medium and large businesses felt sure they would comply with upcoming regulations.” In addition, “a further 21% of respondents assumed that their cloud providers would handle compliance obligations on their behalf, which is explicitly not the case, according to the wording of the GDPR.”This infographic from application security management platform provider Barricade.io will help get you up to speed on the new regulation.
