If you don't have basic infosec when starting a business... Don't start a business. It's 2018. Companies get hacked for a ton of reasons, it's redicolous how badly companies exploit customer data and then fail to protect it. Companies need to be held liable for that

GPDR does not, and government checklists can not, ever, cause companies to have acceptable infosec. Any attempt at security-by-bureaucracy is inherently doomed to failure. This is why business consulting groups’ “security” divisions are the butt of countless jokes among security researchers. No bureaucrat, executive, or politician can ever make enough forms and flow charts to secure data.
Exactly, GDPR is only asking for Security 101 Basics.
