CISCO CYBERSECURITY SERIES 2019 Data Privacy Benchmark Study 4 Among all respondents in the Data Privacy Benchmark Study, 59% indicated they are meeting all or most of GDPR's requirements today. (See Figure 1) Another 29% said they expect to be GDPR ready within a year, leaving 9% who said it would take more than a year to get ready. While GDPR applies to businesses located in the EU or to the processing of personal data collected about individuals located in the EU, it is interesting that only 3% of the respondents in our global survey indicated that they did not believe GDPR applied to their organization. By country, the level of GDPR-readiness ranged from 42% to 76%.
