General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) took effect in May 2018, requiring all organizations handling the personally identifiable information (PII) of European Union citizens to keep that data secure. Organizations who fail to comply are subject to substantial penalties.
GDPR requires organizations to implement policies and procedures with respect to collection, treatment and management of data, a plan to detect a data breach, regularly evaluate the effectiveness of security practices, and document evidence of compliance. With that, GDPR effectively mandates organizations to implement best practices for privacy and data security.
Staffcop for GDPR helps organizations conform with ongoing compliance requirements with its extensive user activity monitoring, data exfiltration protection, audit, reporting and forensics capabilities.
