What is accountability?
Accountability is one of the key new ideas introduced by the GDPR and one of its core principles. It can be summed up: an organization that processes personal data must demonstrate, at the first request of the authorities, that it complies with GDPR requirements.
That represents a significant challenge for organizations. Above and beyond strict compliance with the law, it means proving to customers, service providers, and prospects that the organization is reliable and observes the full range of principles relating to personal data protection and individual rights and freedoms (protection of individual rights, prevention, and management of data breaches, data security, personal data processing, etc.).
