In Norway and EU countries GDPR became enforceable in May 2018. According to the Strategy of Ukraine’s integration into the Single Digital Market of the EU (“Road Map”), Ukraine is committed to implement GDPR by December 2023. Meanwhile, many Norwegian companies are cooperating with Ukrainian IT-providers or have subsidiaries in Ukraine.

• How do Norwegian companies manage security and privacy in outsourcing from Ukraine?
• How will the implementation of GDPR in Ukraine affect cooperation between Norwegian and Ukrainian companies in the ICT sector?
• What should Norwegian companies be aware of when outsourcing to Ukraine?

These and other questions will be discussed in our online seminar on “How to manage security and privacy in IT-outsourcing”.
