Why encryption is important for GDPR compliance?

Encryption is essential for #GDPR compliance in a global scenario of constant #databreaches because it helps to protect personal data against unauthorised access, misuse, theft, or loss.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requires that organisations take appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure the security of personal data.

Encryption is one of the critical security measures that organisations can use to comply with the GDPR and protect personal data.

When personal data is encrypted, it is transformed into a code that can only be decrypted by someone with the appropriate key. This makes it much more difficult for unauthorised parties to access and use the data for malicious purposes. In the event of a data breach, encrypted data is useless to attackers because they cannot read or use it without the encryption key.

By using encryption, organisations can demonstrate that they have taken the necessary steps to protect personal data and comply with the GDPR’s requirements for data security.

Encryption also helps organizations reduce the risk of financial losses and reputational damage resulting from data breaches and gives individuals greater confidence that their personal data is being protected.

Vaultree 's solution helps organisations comply with GDPR by maintaining data encrypted even during usage (processing), not just in transit or at rest, contributing to organisations’ data protection by design and default. Vaultree’s technology ensures that data is not misused or breached, even in the event of a leak.
