TOKYO -- Nearly 80% of the major Japanese corporations surveyed by Nikkei say they are not yet completely compliant with the tougher data protection rules the European Union will put into force on Friday.
The General Data Protection Regulation mandates rigorous data warehousing protocols for companies that possess or transfer personal information on European citizens and employees. This applies to all businesses that offer products and services within the EU, regardless of whether they maintain incorporated units inside the region.
