In episode 6 Kimball Dean Parker and Tomu Johnson from the law firm Parsons Behle & Latimer stop by the studio to talk about the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which is a European Union regulation that governs how businesses and nonprofits handle personal information from individuals in Europe. There are a lot of details about this regulation that will impact Silicon Slopes companies. Luckily,  Kimball and Tomu have come up with some innovative tools that can help. They recently launched Parsons Behle Labs and happily the first product to roll out of the lab is a tool designed to help navigate GDRP. The product is called GDPR IQ and will help companies comply with the GDPR in minutes, for a fraction of the price of a lawyer. A business or nonprofit answers simple questions about how it handles personal information. GDPR IQ takes that information and produces a set of customized compliance documents.
