02.14.2018 - Optimal IdM Announces Customer Support for GDPR
Optimal IdM, a leading provider of Identity and Access Management (IAM) solutions, today announced its commitment to helping customers address requirements for the European Union’s (EU) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Taking effect in May of 2018, GDPR will require global organizations to control, process and protect the personal data of EU citizens at a much higher level than they do today. By centralizing all the identities and personal information organizations manage to fewer locations, Optimal IdM provides strengthened data protection through its award-winning solutions. “Optimal IdM only utilizes state-of-the-art data centers, operated by internationally recognized providers that are configured with the highest possible security and are audited annually, keeping us GDPR compliant,” said Ed Gorczyca, Chief Compliance Officer, Optimal IdM. “The amount of encrypted information passed during this authentication exchange is a function of the relying provider request. Optimal IdM does not add any vulnerabilities, or outside processing.” Research indicates that with less than a year before GDPR goes into effect, many organizations are ill-prepared for this new regulation. While GDPR is an EU regulation, the mandate affects any organization that handles the personal information of EU citizens. “The Internet operates without regards to international borders, so an EU citizen’s authentication request may transverse the EU boundary, depending on locations,” added Gorczyca. “Any organization collecting data on European customers may be affected, but our solutions can reduce headaches by acting as a centralized control point for authentication and access to systems throughout your company.” For more information about GDPR and how IAM can help, visit www.optimalidm.com/gdpr. ...
