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 domain contacts of a domain owned by a legal entity are natural persons, and are also protected by GDPR. So unless a domain contact is something generic like "Technical Contact - techpoc@example.com" or similar role accounts, that contact data is also considered PII. Rubens
