Overview

About GDPR

Why structured, proactive security testing is essential for your organization

Definition & Approach

Definition & Approach

The UK GDPR and the EU GDPR set rules for how organisations collect, use, store and share personal data. We assess your current practice, close the gaps and help you build ongoing governance, with a focus on security of processing under Article 32.

Key Highlights:
  • Data mapping and lawful basis review
  • Gap analysis against GDPR principles and rights
  • Technical security controls and breach readiness
Business Urgency

Business Urgency

Regulators can issue fines of up to 17.5 million pounds or 4 percent of global turnover under the UK GDPR, and customers increasingly ask how their data is protected. A breach without a clear response plan makes the impact far worse.

Defense-in-Depth Architecture

Why you need this

Why you need GDPR compliance

Key Perspective 1
Any organisation that handles personal data about people in the UK or EU must comply, whatever its size. The Information Commissioner's Office and EU regulators expect you to demonstrate compliance, not just claim it.
Key Perspective 2
Strong data protection builds customer trust, reduces the risk and cost of a breach, and makes due diligence with larger customers much easier.
