NEW YORK, NEW YORK, USA, September 6, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ -- IT Governance USA, the leading provider of cybersecurity expertise and solutions, is pleased to announce a webinar series to help North American organizations with their EU GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) compliance projects.

The GDPR came into effect on May 25, 2018, and applies to all organizations that monitor the behavior of, or offer goods and services to, EU residents – irrespective of the organization’s location or where the data is processed.

This webinar series provides an overview of the GDPR, its impact on organizations worldwide, and the practical steps organizations need to take to ensure compliance.

The first webinar in the series, ‘Do I need to comply with the GDPR? What North American organizations need to know about data privacy?,’ will be held on Tuesday, October 9, 2018, 1:00–2:00 pm EDT.

The webinar – with questions taken after the presentation – will cover:
