Navigate the Complexities of GDPR Compliance with Confidence
GDPR compliance is often a complex part of any business’ cybersecurity processes. It requires organisations of any size to be vigilant to increasingly sophisticated cyber attacks and to constantly improve their security. At DigitalXRAID, we have the skills, knowledge, and insight you need for GDPR compliance.
Did you know that in 2023, some of the largest GDPR fines were handed out? Meta was fined over €1.2 billion, CRITEO faced a €40 million penalty for its retargeting practices, and Clearview AI was hit with a €20 million fine for its facial recognition technology.
However, General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliance isn’t just about big business. Whatever your organisation’s size, sector, or products, you can fall foul of legislation, and it can be a painful experience in many ways. A damaged reputation, frightening fines, and lost customers are just some of the things that make data security failures something to avoid.
GDPR is an EU regulation designed to improve and unify the way organisations across the EU collect, handle, process, and store personal data. Even non-EU companies that deal with the personal data of European residents and citizens need to comply. Here in the UK, the GDPR’s requirements are enshrined in the Data Protection Act 2018 or DPA.
Rock solid information security and expert data governance sits at the heart of GDPR compliance, and we’re here to help you with that.
No time to spend on GDPR? No idea where to start? Not sure you’re getting it right?
Your GDPR responsibilities
The GDPR applies to every organisation across the EU that processes personal data, or handles and stores it for a client. Essentially, it covers almost every organisation.
Both data controllers and data processors have important responsibilities. Controllers decide when and how data is processed while processors carry out data processing for the controller.
Personal data is the key, defined as ‘any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person’. The GDPR goes further, also covering digital identifiers like IP addresses, cookies and biometric data.
Several articles of the GDPR cover a business’ cybersecurity requirements:
- Article 5 says you have to process personal data in a way that’s appropriately secure, taking care to protect it against unauthorised or unlawful processing and accidental loss, destruction or damage via the relevant technical and organisational processes
- Article 32 helps organisations ensure the ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of processing systems and services. It says there must be a process for regularly testing, assessing and evaluating technical and organisational data processing measures
- Article 33 puts robust procedures in place to detect and investigate personal data breaches, reporting them within 72 hours to a relevant authority
- Article 35 details the necessary Data Processing Impact Assessment (DPIA) for personal data protection processing operations
How we support ongoing GDPR compliance
As proactive GDPR partners, we challenge your network defences as they search for potential threats. Vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, and managed threat detection and response ensure you meet the GDPR security and breach reporting rules, now and in the future.
Because cyber attacks are often covert, it can be hard to detect them before they cause chaos. Hackers can lurk patiently on your network for months before striking. Our Managed Detection and Response service means you’re supported by experienced people, great monitoring tools, and real-time threat intelligence.
We understand and minimise the unique security risks you face. We’ll boost your security policies, making you as resilient as possible to cyberattacks. We will detect and deal with threats before they escalate and report breaches to the right people within 72 hours.
Constantly improving employee awareness and helping you with Cyber Essentials certification closes the loop to give you a 360 degree GDPR compliance solution.
We’ll make sure you’re always fully GDPR compliant every step of the way.
