TechSavvy Media interviewed Bjorn Bjornsvik during his Accenture Security Norway period about the implications of the European Union General Data Protection Regulation for fintech companies and other startups.
The published article identifies him as a Senior Manager at Accenture Security in Norway and records his emphasis on understanding customer journeys, limiting data collection to demonstrable need, reviewing data flows and access, and preparing transparently for personal-data breaches. The surviving page carries a 2023 date because it was subsequently migrated or republished; its text concerns compliance before the GDPR enforcement date in May 2018.
“Startups can benefit greatly from taking a proactive approach to GDPR.”
Bjørn Bjørnsvik, translated from the TechSavvy article
