Subject Access Request (SAR) – what is it and is your organisation compliant?

How SAR is impacting businesses

Subject Access Request (SAR) simply enables individuals to find out whether any of their personal information is being processed, why they hold it, where it may be disclosed to and enables them to receive a copy of this information. Since GDPR came into effect in May 2018, approximately 60,000 data breach notifications have been reported over Europe, with 91 of these reports leading to a fine being issued for various violations.

The focus in recent news is Cambridge Analytica, a UK–based political, data analytic, advertising, and consulting firm, found incompliant resulting in a £15,000 fine.
