With the General Data Protection Regulation looming just around the corner in May, information security experts Citrix has examined the major risks that could impact British firms as they grapple with compliance. Three major risks were determined, including data sprawl, information overload and data ownership. The average UK firm uses no fewer than 24 systems to store and manage personal data, with 21% using more than 40 systems. This could lead to the next major problem: information overload, which simply means having too much data to deal with. Finally, data ownership is an area of real uncertainty for firms, many of which are unsure if they or the customer owns the personal information.
