GDPR Article 30 Data Lineage and Why Blockchain Can Help

Article 30 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requires that data controllers and data processors maintain systems to record data sharing activity. It is risk-adjusted, aimed towards larger organizations of over 250 employees that have more complex data infrastructure across multiple databases both internally and externally.

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Compliance and the Opportunity to Know your Data

It is almost trite to say that data is important in building corporate value today.
