The GDPR is great for the citizens! My wish is that more countries follow the EU and implement similar and compatible laws. An interesting example of this is that the UK made sure to implement a clone of GDPR in UK law before leaving the EU/EEA.

I suggest instead that the UK government have deliberately extracted themselves from the EU's version of GDPR, by cloning it.

The UK is now an external "third country" in terms of EU GDPR, and has a data border with the EU - whereas Norway sits within EU GDPR.

As a private citizen, I love GDPR. As someone responsible for implementations, I hate it.

Mostly because - for understandable reasons - the EU parliamant kept GDPR vague on implementations.

I've implemented PCIDSS and SOX several times which was much easier, because there is implemantation documentation and everyone knows what to do.

I think GDPR has been pretty great for IT consultancy businesses as well..
