Introductory guide to key issues in cybersecurity and GDPR compliancy

One month out from the anniversary of GDPR implementation in the Netherlands, we asked the cybersecurity experts in our ecosystem to introduce the trends they have noticed one year into GDPR’s reign. This guide highlights prominent cybersecurity risks to personal data protection as well as GDPR compliancy issues that are concurrently aroused. It is hoped this guide will spur companies to re-assess their cybersecurity practices and remedy any continuing vulnerabilities.

Maarten Sander (CTO of Ginger) dissected the importance of varying levels of granularity and encryption in data, touching on tokenization and crypto-shredding as well as important connections to the GDPR.
