Summary/Abstract: While previously the accountability principle was an implicit requirement of data protection law, in the current regulation it has become a cornerstone of effective personal data protection. This principle ensures that throughout the processing of personal data, organisations take responsibility for adequately protecting the confidentiality and security of the personal data they process. Thus, under the GDPR organisations must implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure and demonstrate that they comply with the principles set out in the new regulation which represents a major challenge for companies.
