GDPR Security

Article 32 Requirements

GDPR is not just about consent pop-ups. Article 32 mandates that processors implement "appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk."

What "Technical Measures" Actually Means

The ICO (Information Commissioner's Office) explicitly looks for rigorous technical controls during data breach investigations. A lack of these controls is what leads to severe fines.

  • Encryption & Pseudonymisation

    Data must be protected at rest (full disk encryption, database encryption) and in transit (TLS 1.2+).

  • Confidentiality & Integrity

    Strict RBAC (Role-Based Access Control), mandatory MFA, and comprehensive logging to prove who accessed what data.

  • Regular Testing

    A process for regularly testing, assessing, and evaluating the effectiveness of technical controls (e.g., Penetration Testing).

Our GDPR Security Audit

We bridge the gap between your legal counsel and your IT department. While lawyers draft the privacy policy, our engineers map your actual infrastructure against Article 32 requirements, documenting the evidence required if the ICO ever asks.
