A recent press release states, “Collibra, the leader in enterprise data governance and catalog software, today announced the GDPR Prescriptive Model, a new best practices approach that helps organizations more quickly prepare for the May 25, 2018 General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) deadline, as well as build a lasting foundation to support ongoing data privacy initiatives. The Collibra GDPR Prescriptive Model combines the new Collibra GDPR Accelerator and professional services to help global organizations understand their level of readiness for GDPR and define and execute a course of action to speed time to compliance. It also provides a strong foundation for an organization’s ongoing data privacy efforts, helping to reduce risk. Collibra has developed these methodologies and best practices through its work with leading global consulting partners.”

Stan Christiaens, Chief Technology Officer at Collibra, commented, “Not only are global organizations working to meet the rapidly approaching GDPR compliance deadline, they’re also looking for best practices to help them protect the ongoing privacy of their customers’ data… The costs associated with a data breach not only include significant fees, but reputational damage that often results in loss of customers. The Collibra GDPR Prescriptive Model helps organizations accelerate time to compliance by helping them find the data they need to protect, understand that data, including where it comes from and who has access to it, and trust their data and the processes around it. This combination of Governance and GDPR is an ideal platform for enterprises seeking to launch broader privacy efforts.”
