Abstract

The European Union proposed the General Data Protection Regulation with a set of requirements for organizations to comply with regarding the processing of personal data. In order to identify the critical success factors which contribute for implementing GDPR, a Delphi study with 10 experts was conducted, based on a list of critical success factors previously identified through a systematic literature review. This list was validated and further elaborated, resulting in a top10 of both enablers and barriers in GDPR implementation, with a moderate agreement among the participants.
