What is GDPR?
GDPR is the European Union’s most rigorous data privacy and security law, implemented on May 25, 2018. Its primary aim is to establish consistent data protection standards across the EU. Nevertheless, the regulation applies not only to EU organizations but also to any entities that offer goods or services to EU citizens or manage Personally Identifiable Information (PII) of EU residents.

Additionally, there could be repercussions on reputation and shareholder value, necessitating careful management of residual risks by organizations.

Data Identification & Flow Analysis
GDPR Compliance Services is all about personally identifiable
information (PII) of European Union residents.
- What data do you have & how is the data collected
- What data do you need
- What data to keep/delete, including the data retention period
- Who has access to these data
- Who is involved in the processes of these data
- Which are the tools used for data processing
- In what business processes are the data used
Based on the collected information, we work with your business team to
identify the data flow within your organization and towards external
parties. The data flow analysis provides an overview of the systems:
- Where the company stores data
- The process according to which the company processes data and
- How data get exchanged between the systems.
The outcome of the identification phase will be a complete overview of an
organization’s personal data, systems, processes, and people that
handle them.

Data Privacy Impact Assessment
Conducting Data Privacy Impact Assessment (DPIA) is a vital requirement for GDPR Compliance. DPIA must get performed before the implementation of specific initiatives. Performing Privacy Risk Assessment will provide insights on the organizational capability to provide CARE (Consent, Access, Receipt & Erasure) for the personal data.
The objective of a DPIA is that extreme data breach cases get considered, anticipated, and thereby addressed by the management in protecting the GDPR personal data. Key stages of a DPIA would include:
- Threat identification
- Impact identification
- Evaluation of vulnerabilities
- Identifying the Privacy risks
- Risk treatment plan development
Implementation Of Action Plans
The implementation phase of GDPR Compliance Services is for the organization to remediate the gaps identified and implement controls to reduce the risks to adequate levels. HostShield team will provide advisory and governance services for the remediation. The key consideration would be process measures and technical measures.

Technical measures:We will help the organization design the controls and define the security and privacy architecture required for GDPR compliance. The process enables the organization to securely structure the systems and infrastructure to support the business process.
It requires that all private and public companies/organizations subject to the EU GDPR be able to document, at any time, that they are compliant with the GDPR.
GDPR Incident Response Plans
GDPR sets guidelines for organizations for what is required to do if a data breach occurs. As a part of our GDPR Services, we can make you data breach ready by connecting the GDPR Incident Response (IR) Plans. The GDPR IR guidelines include:
Notify supervisory authority within 72 hours after knowing about the incident.

Our GDPR Compliance Solutions help organizations develop a proven and reliable incident response plan in line with compliance requirements. We can help you document breach impacts and remedial actions in accordance. And to the final measure, we can assist you in implementing the response plans, validating the closures and connecting the best security practices on the go.
GDPR Awareness Training
GDPR compliance is an organizational effort. Educating the personnel in the organization who handles personal data is an important step. The process will make the employees aware of their specific tasks regarding personal data protection.
The capability of the workforce to understand the responsibilities in handling personal data and apply them correctly, efficiently and using the set-out tools, processes and systems will ensure the organization’s compliance with the requirements set out in the GDPR.
GDPR Compliance Management
Compliance is not a one-time activity. GDPR compliance is an ongoing task that requires continuous monitoring, evaluation, and fine-tuning. HostShield GDPR Consulting Engagement helps you build a governance model for ensuring the GDPR compliance as a “Business as Usual” activity.
