Big data and compliance

Today, even medium and small organizations are data processors and controllers, as data sets become ever larger and more complex, making use of information to improve the customer experience – and the company’s efficiency and profitability.

As a response to this aspect of digital transformation, legislation such as the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation is introduced, complicating requirements for processes and the treatment of big data, which needs to be discoverable and compliant, available for set periods and always safe from prying eyes.

With regulations threatening sizeable fines and increased awareness of privacy and security by the public, companies need a trusted, experienced partner such as Accutech to achieve GDPR and big data compliance.

Challenges

Data volumes have been estimated to double in size about every two years – and full compliance demands their identification and protection.
Multi-cloud ecosystems strengthen the demand for complete protection and complicate compliance efforts.
Businesses are held accountable for more than their on-site operations, with significant portions of the workforce operating remotely, at least some of the time.
Severe financial and legal penalties for companies not conforming to security and privacy legislation such as the EU’s GDPR and MiFID II.
Risk of loss of trust on behalf of the public, as brand image is tainted by mandatory public reveals of breaches and security leaks.
