The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) mandates that those who are accountable for processing data within an organization comply with the regulation. According to the GDPR, a controller is “the person, authority, or agency that determines the purposes and means of processing personal data.” A processor is someone who processes data on behalf of the controller. This training video, the fourth in a four-part series on the GDPR, explains the responsibilities of data controllers and data processors.
