What is the GDPR regulation?

In the age of digital transformation, the flow of data has increased monumentally, quite literally having tripled in recent years. While this has its benefits, there is also the risk of data loss, misplacement and other processing and handling errors. Guaranteeing data security by way of an organized and structured method is the first step to creating customer trust and gaining competitiveness in an industry.

With these challenges in mind, GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) was born, coming into effect on 24 May 2016, with the intent of providing clear and homogeneous directives for the protection of privacy and guidelines for facing the new challenges of technological and globalized evolution with the right tools.

The ultimate goal is to protect the confidentiality of personal data, such as ensuring that it is not used for purposes different to those for which it was collected or, worse still, that it ends up in the hands of hackers and criminals. Unfortunately, such persons have increasingly specialized in telematic scams, making it necessary to find impregnable security means and systems to protect corporate and personal data.

Companies manage sensitive personal data on a daily basis, including names, addresses and telephone numbers, but also access codes, pins and passwords for credit cards or payment systems. As such, customers require that companies are GDPR compliant, before they will be willing to release their personal data.

How has We Are Fiber adapted to the legislation?

We Are Fiber has adapted to the new context with ease, offering all the necessary customer guarantees.

The data we request, necessary for the provision of our services, is processed in full compliance with professional secrecy, office secrecy and the rights of the interested party.

We are bound by the regulation’s principle of accountability, which stipulates that data controllers be compliant when it comes to data processing. We protect data from the design stage by way of stringent measures and guarantee the use of only the data necessary for the purposes of treatment.

After having passed first and second party audits, we decided independently to request a third-party audit from a certifying body that issued a certificate of conformity GDPR 679/2016. Furthermore, we have also obtained the ISO / IEC 27001 certification in full compliance with the assessment and treatment of information security risks.

Data Protection: 4 effective strategies to protect your data

There are several security measures that need to be managed in a conscious and professional way when it comes to corporate and personal data, which multiplies day by day.

Firstly, the flow of data needs to be analyzed according to the needs of your company, so as to draw up the appropriate strategies to protect the information. After an initial analysis, it will be possible to know which data requires protection, so as to define priorities in terms of strategic relevance and determine the investment necessary.

Backups are also essential for data protection, where they need to be continuous in ensuring that data is stored in a safe place. From this point of view, the cloud is a precious tool, as it is extremely flexible and provides you with the information you require in no time at all.

It is critical that all components of your company be involved in the daily data protection process, so as to adopt a single and shared strategy and avoid the loss or incorrect use of data.

Be sure to select a technology capable of simplifying business activities, optimizing strategic planning and reducing retention times.

This way, your work will be much more fluid and intuitive, without hitches or wasted time, thus streamlining the entire production process
