The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a law designed to protect personal data and privacy, and its complexity has created a market for consulting services to sell compliance solutions to businesses. Our team created compliance recommendations for Cycling Without Age International, a non-profit organization overseeing a global movement that provides bike rides for the elderly community. It was recommended that changes to internal policies, employee practices, and cybersecurity be carried out to improve GDPR compliance. Unlike market solutions, our team considered the organization’s unique culture and values. These culture-minded recommendations will be easier to implement and less severely impact the daily practices of the organization.
