Corporations in the U.K., U.S. and EU are preparing for the GDPR at vastly different speeds.
Here's a fact that will leave many scratching their heads: the corporations most actively preparing for the European Union's (EU) General Data Privacy Regulation (GDPR) hail from the one country looking to greatly distance itself from the European continent.
Despite a looming Brexit, U.K. corporations are leading the way with GDPR compliance, with 40 percent having begun GDPR preparations, compared with 28 percent in the EU and 5 percent in the U.S., according a survey of over 800 corporate IT professionals across the three regions conducted by IT community organization Spiceworks. In addition, the survey found that 5 percent of organizations in the U.K. are fully prepared for the regulation, more than double the amount in the EU and U.S.
