Data Privacy & Security in EU Compliance
Why Data Privacy and Security Matter
In the European regulatory landscape, data privacy and security are two sides of the same coin. GDPR, the AI Act, and national data protection laws all require companies not only to handle personal data lawfully, but also to safeguard it against breaches, misuse, and unauthorized access.
For startups and enterprises alike, strong data privacy and security practices are not optional — they are a baseline for market trust, regulatory approval, and customer loyalty.
What Data Privacy & Security Cover
A comprehensive approach includes:
- Data minimization – collecting only what is necessary for lawful purposes.
- Access controls – restricting personal data access to authorized staff.
- Encryption and anonymisation – ensuring data is unreadable to unauthorised parties.
- Audit and monitoring – maintaining logs of access, changes, and breaches.
- Incident response – having clear procedures in place for potential data breaches.
These measures not only comply with GDPR Articles 5, 32, and 34, but also show regulators and customers that privacy is built into your operations.
