European Regulation No. 2016/679 that approves the new data protection legal framework entails a strong change for all entities of the private sector (including the financial sector and the industry sector) and of the public sector, “internalizing” in such entities the responsibility for compliance with rules and assigning to the regulators large inspection powers that may lead to the application of fines involving amounts without precedent. A particular mention should be made for the obligation to notify immediately the data subjects and the Regulator in case of breach of security in data privacy. Additionally, the Regulation also establishes for the major part of the entities of the private sector and for all entities of the public sector, the duty to appoint a Data Protection Officer, service that can be outsourced.
