HOW IDERA HELPS ORGANIZATIONS WITH GDPR COMPLIANCE

GDPR

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will go into effect on May 25, 2018. It is intended to strengthen and unify data protection for all individuals within the EU and it also addresses the export of personal data outside the EU. GDPR aims primarily to give control back to citizens and residents over their personal data and to simplify the regulatory environment for international business. Many companies think that GDPR is just a European regulation. However, the regulation stretches globally as the scope of the EU data protection law extends to all foreign companies processing data of EU residents.

GDPR Requirements

GDPR states that if you collect any of the below listed data on EU members you must comply with the regulation:

  • Name
  • Identification number
  • Email address
  • Online user identifier
  • Social media posts
  • Physical, physiological or genetic information
  • Medical information • Location
  • Bank details
  • IP address
  • Cookies

Since this regulation has the potential to affect so many organizations, it is important to understand potential changes to be made to your company data policies in order to comply to the new protection standards. Of course understanding any new regulatory requirement can be challenging, as well as time-consuming and costly to implement and manage. In an e ort to ease your burden, we at IDERA have identified the areas in which our products already help your data and processes comply with many of these guidelines. In this document, we provide a checklist conveniently laid out by GDPR guideline with the relevant IDERA product(s) so you can refer specifically to the product(s) you own or may be looking to own.
