## Executive summary The article explains that the EU intends to enforce the GDPR strictly and may penalize companies that fail to disclose data breaches that occurred before the May 25 GDPR effective date, citing potential fines and the Facebook/Cambridge Analytica fallout as context; it also warns of large-scale accidental exposures (e.g., misconfigured file shares) and urges organizations to improve data visibility and breach disclosure practices.
