Adonis working to help customers stay in compliance with 2018 General  Data Protection Regulations

From May 2018, all businesses in the European Union (EU) will have to comply with new General Data Protection Regulations, which will give all Europeans the right to protect their personal data. The new EU law places strict legal limitations on how personal data can be collected, and requires any organisations that store and manage this information to ensure that personal data and employees rights are protected. 

Europe-based shipping companies employ large pools of employees and hold large volumes of their sensitive personal data, so they will need to comply with the new regulations. To do so, they must ensure that their IT systems and practices are updated. Adonis, as a major supplier of maritime HR, Crew Management Systems and Payroll Systems, are on high alert to make sure that their customers can stay in compliance with GDPR, at least for the part that is managed by the IT system.

"Large impact from GDPR..."

- As a Human Resource software solutions provider, GDPR will have a large impact on our work, says Erick Meijer, product director of Adonis.

- Although we already have many of the requirements in place, we will need to follow up on the consequences of the new regulations. Adonis has been carrying out this work for a while and will continue to do so throughout the year. Adonis is a trusted supplier for many of the leading maritime companies, so our clients know that our Human Resource solutions and services will be thoroughly vetted to ensure they are fully compliant with the new GDPR laws before the May 2018 deadline.
