Cloud can be an ingenious and sophisticated way to secure your data and protect the personal information you process? Why?
Cloud security and network virtualisation for small firms
Although the GDPR regulation states that companies can only be required to do what is possible for them in terms of security, even smaller companies with not very high turnover should not underestimate the importance of sufficient security.
If we’re talking about a technological solution to security, then the easiest one for small businesses will be to move to the cloud. The reason is simple – cloud providers can’t afford to fail and therefore guard security carefully. The huge advantage of using the cloud is that servers, storage, services and applications will be available to you as a user remotely over the internet or network. Even the best IT security won’t ensure that data leakage doesn’t occur, for example, when an employee takes work home. He’s not only taking work with him on his laptop, but also sensitive data.
Another important step for greater security is virtualization of networks. Virtualization will make it easier for companies to prevent problems related to destruction, loss or unauthorized disclosure or access to personal data.
Cloud tools, applications and services are numerous – you can choose from email providers, cloud/shared storage, office applications, collaboration, discussion and sharing platforms and much more.
If you’re not sure if a cloud solution is the right choice for you, or for any other reason you don’t want to invest in technologies where you don’t see the added value, get in touch. We’d be happy to discuss the issue with you and suggest the best way to address GDPR in your business.
