Marking 10 years of the GDPR: the evolution of the European data protection landscape

Summary: Brussels, 27 April – Today marks the 10th anniversary of the GDPR’s adoption, the first comprehensive data protection framework spanning an entire continent, establishing clear rights for individuals and obligations for organisations across Europe.

Why it matters: This matters if it changes compliance expectations, enforcement posture, or the practical workload for teams that have to translate guidance into controls, evidence, and operating process.

What to watch: Watch for follow-on implementation guidance, regulator clarification, enforcement movement, or changes in how larger organizations operationalize the requirement.
