Abstract

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has entered into force in the European Union (EU) since 25 May 2018 in order to satisfy present difficulties related to private information protection. This regulation involves significant structural for companies, but also stricter requirements for personal data collection, management, and protection. In this context, companies need to create smart solutions to allow them to comply with the GDPR and build a feeling of confidence in order to map all their personal data. In these conditions, cognitive computing could be able to assist companies extract, protect and anonymize sensitive structured and unstructured data. Therefore, this article proposes a framework that can serve as an approach or guidance for companies that use cognitive computing methods to meet GDPR requirements. The goal of this work is to examine the smart system as a data processing and data protection solution to contribute to GDPR compliance.
