As far as IP Addresses go (and domains too), currently GDPR recognizes the
rights of individuals, not companies, which means that a company can be in the
whois query, since it does not have the right to privacy.
My understanding is that this will only affect natural persons.

The only people served by restriction on WHOIS availability are abusers

Not that whois data for domain names has been particularly useful for the
past decade anyhow since most TLDs and registrars either provide for free,
or sell as an addon, "private" registration via some "proxy corporation" or
whatever. Domain name whois for most TLDs has not been the sort of
accountability measure that ICANN seems to think it is for a very long
time, at least in practice.
I'd be much more concerned about RIPE's whois data for AS and IP address
An individual can also own an ASN and IP space. You don't have to be a
company.
