Chris Zoladz, CIPP/E, CIPP/G, CIPP/US, CIPM, CIPT, is a consultant at Navigate. He has been working with companies aiming to get compliant with the EU General Data Protection Regulation for the last couple of years. Zoladz made his debut on The Privacy Advisor Podcast in February 2017. It was early days then, but it is to date our most-listened-to podcast. Now, there are two weeks until the GDPR comes into force, and folks are scrambling. In this episode, Zoladz discusses the realities on the ground and drops some knowledge on how to best prioritize your to-do list ahead of the looming deadline. And, he notes, while you may have your bags packed for the beach May 25, compliance is an ongoing effort, and this is just the start. The greatest barrier to success so far, he says? Resources.
