Data protection - a key issue | #DigitalLuxembourg #Luxembourg #Europe | Luxembourg (Europe) | Scoop.it

Having a strong capacity for renewal is the essential drive to face competition within a global economy that is constantly changing. In the last few years, Luxembourg has grown stronger through the development of innovative technological businesses, whether in the sphere of electronic business, digital content, cloud computing, Big Data or e-payments.

In other words, in terms of digital progress, the Grand Duchy experienced a significant boost in recent years. Today, Luxembourg is among the leading countries of the European Union in this field, just behind Scandinavian countries (Denmark, Sweden, Finland) and the Netherlands.
 
At a later stage, the objective is to strengthen and consolidate the country's position in the field of ICT in order to, among other considerations, diversify the economy. "Digital Lëtzebuerg" is the name of the institution behind this digital transformation; Luxembourg's new face as a smart nation: a modern, open, highly connected nation that is good to go for a digital society.

In a meeting with Pascal Steichen, CEO of the economic interest grouping known as Securitymadein.lu, he tells us why Luxembourg is setting an example to follow when it comes to cybersecurity.

1. Luxembourg ranked 1st in the world for ICT access and 10th regarding ICT use. In what way does Luxembourg benefit from being a privileged location for companies in the ICT sector?


One of the main benefits is the development of a service-based economy. The high level of equipment and connectivity means that businesses can develop innovative services supported by a high performance digital infrastructure and a very receptive audience.

What's more, the country's size means that it is an ideal environment for innovations to thrive. Last but not least, for over a decade, the government has been strongly and actively supporting digitalisation and cybersecurity as cornerstones of the country's development strategy.

CNPD and SMC Hold Conference on New Data Protection Regulation | #Luxembourg #Privacy #Datenschutz #ICT 

CNPD and SMC Hold Conference on New Data Protection Regulation | #Luxembourg #Privacy #Datenschutz #ICT  | Luxembourg (Europe) | Scoop.it
On Tuesday 11 October 2016, Luxembourg’s National Commission for Data Protection (CNPD) and the Service for Media and Communication (SMC) held a conference on the main changes stemming from new data protection regulation.

The conference marked the start of a series of events especially designed in the framework of the Digital Lëtzebuerg initiative with the aim of presenting the new regulation to those concerned and guiding them in its implementation.

More than 500 people attended the conference at the Maison du Savoir at Esch-Belval, where the Prime Minister and Minister of Media and Communication, Xavier Bettel, discussed the challenges and opportunities provided by the new European regulation for Luxembourg. PM Bettel referred to it as “an adaptation to a new world, a world where technological innovation allows for important advances while also guaranteeing the respect of our fundamental principles.”

These new laws, which replace the 1995 directive of the same nature, will be directly applicable in all Member states of the European Union from 25 May 2018. The new regulation aims to give citizens more control over their personal data, give more responsibility to businesses whilst reducing their administrative costs, and also reinforcing the role of data protection authorities like CNPD.

DATA PROTECTION: A COMPLIANCE-TESTING TOOL

PUBLISHED ON 18/10/2017

At the first RegTech Summit held on 12 October 2017, the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST), Digital Luxembourg and eProseedRTC supported the National Commission for Data Protection (CNPD) in launching a tool to enable organisations to evaluate the extent of their compliance with the new General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR).

PREPARING FOR 25 MAY 2018

Companies, public administrations and associations who handle personal data are required to comply with the new European regulations by 25 May 2018. 

As a regulatory body, CNPD, together with LIST, have formed a partnership for the purposes of a research project, which is also supported by Digital Luxembourg,  in an effort to assist private and public stakeholders in integrating the provisions of the new regulations.

This tool – the "GDPR Compliance Support Tool" - also contributes to Luxembourg's objective of digitising and simplifying procedures, particularly in terms of ensuring compliance with the current and future regulatory framework.

ASCERTAIN YOUR ORGANISATION'S LEVEL OF COMPLIANCE 

The "GDPR Compliance Support Tool" is an innovative, intuitive solution enabling users to ascertain the level of maturity of their organisations. It contains a comprehensive, in-depth database covering 350 regulatory requirement criteria. 

The tool will allow stakeholders not only to manage a data processing register in addition to the other documents required to demonstrate their compliance, but also to monitor the progress of their level of organisational maturity. The tool will be offered to companies free of charge and its content will be updated on an ongoing basis.
