As of 25 May 2018, a new regulatory regime—the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)—is in effect in the European Union (EU). Complying with GDPR’s requirements poses challenges, but it is also an opportunity to evaluate all aspects of your security posture, and to ensure that any existing security gaps are eliminated.

Complying with GDPR is not simply an IT challenge, and involves disciplined management and business processes. However, the regime’s core security provisions are fundamentally technical in nature. When it comes to these technical provisions, Barracuda security solutions are well suited to help you more easily achieve, maintain, and document GDPR compliance.
