GDPR Compliance and Beyond: Adopting a One-Two Encryption Punch (Guest Post)
Thank you to Cyphre for contributing this guest post to our blog as we focus on GDPR compliance!
Now that European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is set to become law, companies must establish policies and technology controls to securely store and transfer personal data of any person residing in the EU. Data that can be used to identify a person, such as physical address, IP address, and more, as well as genetic data, information about religious and political views, sexual orientation, and more must be encrypted or made anonymous. Individuals have the right to erase their personal data by withdrawing consent or when it is no longer being used for its original purpose.
