General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

Digital Guardian for GDPR compliance combines data discovery, data classification and data loss prevention into a single, easy to manage appliance.  Protect EU residents’ personal data at rest, in use and in motion with low overhead.

What is the GDPR?

Text

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which provides guidance on how EU organizations should store customer data and, more significantly, respond in the event of a data breach, went into effect on May 25, 2018.

GDPR compliance requires organizations to have visibility into what data they possess, and where it is located. This remains a challenge for many organizations who don’t yet have solutions in place to understand where their data lives and what it contains. Ultimately, many organizations still aren’t sure where to start, and are worried that these solutions will affect workflow productivity. However, not complying with GDPR could expose organizations to significant risks – fines, negative PR, drops in stock prices, and more. All compelling reasons to find a solution that works

Solutions Benefits

EFFECTIVE GDPR COMPLIANCE WITH LOW OVERHEAD

Digital Guardian’s powerful appliances are designed for quick installation and simplified management. Configuration wizards guide you through setup and configuration. Once deployed, our database record matching fingerprinting technology for identifying and controlling personal data is the industry’s most accurate, resulting in the lowest false positives.

DEEPEST VISIBILITY ACROSS YOUR ENTERPRISE AND THE CLOUD

Digital Guardian for Compliance enables you to effectively discover, monitor and control EU personal data transmitted on the network, in use on workstations, or at rest in workstations, network servers and cloud storage

ANALYTICS AND REPORTING THAT DEMONSTRATE COMPLIANCE

Digital Guardian analytics and reports can provide the key documentation to demonstrate GDPR compliance. Our enterprise wide reporting shows where EU personal data is located, how it’s used and what mechanisms you have in place to enforce GDPR data protection principles.

FLEXIBLE & AUTOMATED CONTROLS THAT PROTECT DATA WITHOUT SLOWING BUSINESS

Our controls operate silently until needed, then automatically respond to risky behavior. Employees are educated in real-time on the appropriate handling of GDPR-regulated data via display prompts that request justification for actions that put data at risk. Actions that violate data protection policy are blocked or contained before personal data gets out.

While it is not a solution to the entire GDPR challenge, IDC thinks that DLP is core to much of the scope of GDPR.
