Congruity360, a provider of professional and fully managed services for enterprise data management, can help US companies achieve GDPR compliance.
The European Union’s (EU) new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) rules, which takes effect on May 25, requires businesses to protect the personal data and privacy of EU citizens for transactions that occur within EU member states. US-based companies that collect data on citizens in European Union (EU) countries will also need to comply with the strict new rules around protecting customer data.
To help Congruity360 delivers action-based analytics with Audit, Intelligence, Action (AIA), which enables companies to audit, gather intelligence on, and take action with their data.
AIA uses smart technology, like artificial intelligence, to help companies govern data within the parameters of specific policies and regulations, such as HIPAA and GDPR. AIA claims to provide’ complete GDPR readiness’ by continually identifying, classifying, and controlling hundreds of data and file types, ensuring satisfaction of any compliance standards.
“Achieving GDPR compliance is not a one-time exercise to clean up data. Maintaining compliance will require continuous monitoring and oversight to ensure ongoing adherence to the mandates,” says Kirk Carter, Managing Partner at Congruity360. “It is imperative organizations implement the correct infrastructure now in order to easily maintain compliance with their growing data sets,” Carter adds.
AIA can also be used to identify all data types to achieve cost-savings around storage capacity, while others heavily rely on AIA to set new policies and achieve compliance. AIA is offered alongside eDiscovery and archive solutions within the C360 suite, a collection of enterprise search and information management tools.
Headquartered in Fall River, MA, Congruity360 is a single-source solution provider specialising in high-quality managed services across enterprise data storage, migration, information governance, and support.
Operating from its privately-owned Data Center, Congruity360 claims to support the entire data lifecycle by simplifying and optimising data management infrastructures. Its aim is to empower end users and partners to focus on their core business competencies by increasing data reliability, reducing risk and saving time.
Consumers would like to see privacy laws like the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) enacted in the US, according to a recent survey. The Cambridge Analytica breach could be major turning point in the way consumers feel about their data privacy according to the Consumer Attitudes Toward Data Privacy Survey by Janrain. The survey shows many American consumers are open to regulations designed to give them greater control over how businesses use their personal data. Of those surveyed, 69% said they would like to see privacy laws like the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) enacted in the US.
