1 hour 15 min clears the 45-minute international minimum connection time at Giarmata, but you should still head directly to your gate. There is only one small terminal building, so all passengers move through a single departures hall, security checkpoint, and gate area on foot. Passengers arriving from non-Schengen destinations (e.g. UK) pass through passport control, while intra-Schengen arrivals do not require re-screening for security in most cases.
