Top thoughts for GDPR third-party management

The European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will go into effect in May 2018 and while global organizations are required to demonstrate compliance of their security and privacy practices, it goes beyond just the internal organization: the GDPR also extends to the third-party vendors of GDPR-applicable companies.
