GDPR
Overview
Who Is Subject to GDPR?
GDPR applies to any organization processing EU/EEA personal data—whether as a controller or processor, worldwide.
Who Is Subject to GDPR?
GDPR applies broadly to any organization that processes the personal data of individuals located in the European Union (EU) or European Economic Area (EEA)—regardless of where the organization itself is based.
It applies to:
Controllers: Organizations that determine the purposes and means of processing personal data
Processors: Organizations that process personal data on behalf of a controller
GDPR applies even if the organization does not have a physical presence in the EU/EEA.
Key triggers include:
Offering goods or services to individuals in the EU/EEA
Monitoring behavior of individuals in the EU/EEA
Many global companies integrate GDPR requirements with compliance programs for ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA, and PCI DSS to manage privacy and security consistently across jurisdictions.
