LogRhythm announced the release of its General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Compliance Module, a fully-integrated security solution for achieving and validating GDPR compliance. For companies that collect and process personal data of European Union citizens, the LogRhythm GDPR Compliance Module offers a robust, pre-built suite of rules, alerts, and reports specifically mapped to GDPR Articles. By implementing LogRhythm’s GDPR Compliance Module, organizations can protect their customers’ personal data, avoid negative publicity, prevent loss of customer confidence and avoid fines.
All organizations doing business with companies or individuals within the EU fall under the scope of the GDPR and are subject to compliance with the new law. Non-compliance can result in significant penalties, including fines of up to €20 million or four percent of an offending organization’s global annual revenue. Ensuring compliance with the GDPR promises to be a major operational and technological exercise for all subject organizations. Gartner predicts that by the end of 2018, less than 50 percent of companies affected by the GDPR will be in full compliance with its requirements.
“Given the breadth of the GDPR, no single solution provides automatic compliance with all aspects of the regulation. In fact, there are more people and process requirements to the regulation than technology. The LogRhythm GDPR Compliance Module offers a simplified approach towards meeting this new regulation by providing a fundamental security framework designed to help organizations address the technology requirements of the GDPR. This framework helps organizations reduce risk, avoid fines and preserve their ability to conduct business in and with the EU.” said James Carder, chief information security officer and GDPR data protection officer at LogRhythm.
