General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Compliance

GDPR compliance is the legal framework in place to protect and safeguard the personal data of European Union citizens. This framework mandates companies to provide easy access to individuals’ personal information and to receive their consent before collecting or using it. GDPR also requires companies to take appropriate technical and organizational measures when handling personal data, as well as informing individuals of any data breaches that may occur.

As one of the original cloud security advisory firms, we saw GDPR coming a mile away, and have been helping our clients achieve compliance. Don’t let a GDPR slip up damage your company’s business and reputation. Trust Us to Get You There.

EU Regulation for Privacy and Security

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is an EU regulation that protects personal data of EU citizens and residents. It is important because it sets out a framework for organizations to ensure the privacy and security of individuals’ personal information when it is collected, used, or transferred. The GDPR also ensures that individuals have access to and control over their own data.

A violation can mean financial and reputational impact for cloud service providers, either of which could be devastating for many organizations. Breaches of GDPR can result in penalties of up to €20 million or 4 percent of global revenue, whichever is higher.

GDPR Compliance Challenges

GDPR compliance comes with a host of challenges for businesses. These can include having to update internal policies, processes and data protection practices, as well as the cost of implementing GDPR-compliant technologies. Additionally, GDPR requires companies to maintain detailed records of how they collect, use and process personal data. This can be a difficult task, especially for larger companies with massive amounts of data.

Do I need to comply with GDPR?

If your cloud service is intended for use within the European Union, you must take steps to ensure GDPR compliance. In today’s global cloud world, that potentially extends to any cloud service provider.

What are the GDPR consequences?

Breaches of the GDPR can result in penalties of up to €20 million or 4 percent of global revenue, whichever is higher. Additionally, data subjects have a right to seek compensation for damages, and authorities may impose a temporary or permanent restriction on data processing—ranging from a warning to a complete ban.

INTERNATIONAL COMPANY?

If you plan on providing cloud offerings (COs) to anywhere in the Ueropean union, even if you’re not there yourself, you need to adhere to GDPR.
