Did you hear about one of the GDPR fines, the massive 380,000 euro fine that a sports betting company recently faced for breaching General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) rules? This unfortunate incident acts as a stark reminder of the potential financial and reputational risks connected with non-compliance.

The Cost of Non-compliance

The sports betting company fell foul on several counts. These included:

  1. Processing Personal Data without Legal Grounds: They handled copies of bank cards without proven legal reasons.
  2. Failure to Notify Data Subjects: They did not inform their clients about this data processing.
  3. Lack of Adequate Security Measures: They failed to implement appropriate measures during the creation of a new business process.
  4. Inadequate Data Protection: They didn’t apply encryption measures for data stored in their databases and did not regularly evaluate their security measures’ effectiveness.

These serious breaches led to not only a hefty fine but also considerable reputational damage.
