Protect personal data of EU citizens and avoid costly fines by maintaining GDPR compliance

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was created to protect EU citizens personal data and applies to any company worldwide that processes, stores or transmits data related to EU citizens. Failure to comply with the numerous GDPR regulations can result in fines, some of which could be very costly. No other compliance body comes close to levying such severe penalties. Companies that have failed to comply with GDPR have been fined as much as €20 million, and fines of €50 thousand or more are not uncommon.

Additionally, GDPR comprises 99 articles, with regulations covering numerous topics. Many of the regulations do not offer detailed, specific explanations on how to achieve compliance. This makes the need for expert advice all the more necessary, as second-guessing what a GDPR regulation means can lead to a very costly surprise.

To help your company meet the GDPR security compliance requirements for protecting EU citizens’ personal information that you hold, our security solutions detect and prevent data breaches and provide continuous real-time monitoring capabilities, identifying any vulnerabilities or errors that might expose that data. We couple this with the most effective ways to respond when attacks do occur.

GDPR requirements

 

GDPR doesn’t have detailed technical directions like ISO 27001 or PCI DSS, where there is a specific list of controls that a company must adhere to. Instead, GDPR makes your company responsible for maintaining the security best practices for protecting EU citizens’ personal data:

E

Minimum requirements for holding a data protection level are needed in order to maintain an appropriate data protection level. GDPR requires the organization to regularly test and maintain its security systems.

E
Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA) are important tools for both negating risk and demonstrating GDPR compliance. GDPR requires an organization to have a security architecture that defines proper safeguards and mitigation measures to secure the personal data of EU citizens.
E
Data protection by design and default requires that the security controls for data protection must be designed before the solution/website/e-commerce platform is implemented.
E
Data security during processing of personal data requires a process for regular testing, assessment and evaluation of the effectiveness of the measure you have in place to ensure the security of the processing.
E
Personal data breaches prevention is mandatory for GDPR compliance. Companies must constantly monitor for any abnormal or suspicious behavior to prevent data breaches and be proactive in constantly improving their cybersecurity strategy and policies

How we can help

 

Cybersecurity attacks continue to increase in both sophistication and in quantity. Prime targets continue to be companies and organizations that hold an individual’s personal information, for cybercriminals can use that information for their own financial gain, sell it to others, or hold the company or an individual ransom. These dangers are why GDPR was created, and why its regulations are so stringent, and the penalties for non-compliance so severe.

We’ll first assess your system’s security profile as it relates to GDPR requirements, and then make recommendations for shoring up your system’s vulnerabilities and possible gaps.

So no matter how complex or challenging GDPR requirements are, you’ll be in full compliance with every one of them.
