# Your new responsibilities

##### There is no need to panic… but you do need to be prepared:

– Your business operations must be ready to provide the services for handling and processing personal data.

– You need to tell customers and employees exactly what data you hold, why you hold it and for how long it will be held.

– Your staff are required to understand the GDPR, the [rights of individuals](/content/gdpr-consultancy/whatischanging-25th-may-2018/index.html) to their data, and how to manage those rights.

– You need to understand your roles and responsibilities as a Data Controller or Data Processor.
