I'm with Linwood on this one. Auditing security processes is where it's at. Although, a good old-fashioned penalty doesn't sound too bad either. Decisions, decisions...

Hmm, I don't know. I'm stuck between B and D. The GDPR does mention something about forcing data breach notifications, but the penalty power also seems like a big deal. Maybe I'll just guess and hope for the best.
