5 Must-Haves to Guide You with GDPR

Staffing

GDPR puts focus on ownership. Identify your technical lead, DPO, and executive sponsor to bear responsibility for data privacy programs.

Data Audit & Classification

Map data flows and relevant systems to mark various structures, files and systems where different levels of privacy need to be maintained. Include 3rd parties and backup systems.

Risk Analysis

GDPR strongly links data security to the risk of a breach. Assess your risk based on data types, volume, and processing systems. Run CheckMe instantly, or Security CheckUp for a broad assessment.

Establish robust audit trail of activity on in-scope systems, especially data access and admin activity, as well as rich logging across all protections in order to identify potential breach activity.
