9 September 2022 – The Croatian Personal Data Protection Agency, the coordinator of the ARC II project, organized the first meeting with the project partners: the Italian Data Protection Supervisory Authority (Garante Privacy), the Faculty of Organization and Informatics from Varaždin, the Vrije University Brussels and the University of Florence.

This project is a continuation of the successfully implemented ARC project, which aimed to provide micro, small and medium-sized enterprises support in their efforts to comply with the GDPR.

Even after more than four years of its application, compliance with the GDPR remains challenging especially for SMEs. Therefore, there is a strong need for the development of practical guidance and digital tools that can also be replicated in other Member states, and adapted to SMEs needs to facilitate them the implementation of GDPR obligations.

The overall expected direct result of ARC II project is increased knowledge and understanding among SMEs of their obligations arising from the GDPR and Italian and Croatian data protection legal frameworks. The project will result in a GDPR compliance open-source digital tool Olivia that shall be developed at the Faculty of Organisation and Informatics, therefore all the data protection authorities (DPAs) could adapt it to their national legislation and language. In this way, SMEs across the EU will be able to benefit from the project results of the ARC II project.
