Compliance GDPR/ISO 27001

Unify

Control

Problem

There are increasing pressures for technical and organisational measures to protect sensitive data.  Organisations are continuously challenged with having a lack of unified visibility across their ecosystems and monitoring the threat landscape which could compromise data confidentiality, integrity, and cause reputational damage.

Data Protection

Insufficient measures in place to protect personal data from a technical perspective. This includes ensuring data is encrypted, access is restricted to authorised personnel, and data is stored in secure locations.

Incident Reporting

Keeping abreast of all your siloed technologies and threat landscape could impact on adhering to GDPR’s 72 hour deadline of reporting the breach to the ICO. Failure to do so can result in significant fines.

Data Monitoring and Integration

A lack of integration of tools complicates the collection and analyses of data from multiple sources to identify potential threats and anomalies. Data quality and consistency could be compromised in addition to it being time consuming, resource intensive and costly.

False Positives

The organisation’s disparate tools may generate a high volume of false positives, requiring additional resources to investigate and triage alerts.

Staff training

Lack of security expertise and already stretched compliance resources could impact on the interpretation of data anomalies and associated risk ramifications.

Solution

Using the BlockAPT Platform, organisations can ensure compliance with GDPR, protect personal data and minimise the impact of a data breach. It can speed up detection and response rates in real-time to advanced persistent threats that may compromise personal data, minimizing the risk of harm to individuals as well as the reputational and financial impact to the organisation.

The BlockAPT Platform can also support compliance processes for an organisation’s internal and external audits as well as helping those organisations embarking on their ISO27001 journey in areas such as Asset Management Register, Network Activity Logs, System Vulnerability Logs, etc with data visibility in one place.

Monitor Network Activity and Identify Potential Threats

The SIEM capability of the
BlockAPT Platform can collect and analyse data in real-time from various sources, including network devices, servers, and endpoints, to identify potential threats and anomalies.

Quantum Secure Data Protection

With quantum secure communication capabilities and Role Based Access Control settings including permissions management, the BlockAPT Platform allows administrators to define and enforce data access restrictions. It can provide audit trails and logging features to track data access and modifications, aiding compliance and incident investigations.

Automated Incident Response and Reporting

With an intuitive and user-friendly dashboard, the BlockAPT Platform provides visibility of vulnerabilities and breaches with its incident management and reporting features. Automated incident response workflow processes allow security teams to quickly investigate and remediate security incidents to adhere to compliance and regulatory purposes.

Centralised Management

In one unified platform, organisations can leverage native control and access threat intelligence, vulnerability management, device & incident response, log management and more.

Data Monitoring and Integration

Advanced monitoring tools integrated with an organisation’s infrastructure enables data flow tracking, access patterns, and usage within the system, aiding compliance with GDPR’s accountability principle.

Streamline Compliance with GDPR

With unified visibility across all data sources and the ability to centrally orchestrate disparate tools, manage user access controls, etc organisations are better placed to support compliance and audit processes.
