Rainer Schneemayer gives tips\u00a0on data protection in the Cloud<\/p>\n

Data protection is currently the predominant topic in the field of IT security. Companies are faced with the question of how to store their data so that they can fullfill the conditions of the GDPR (Basic Data Protection Regulation). Not only the storage is relevant, but also the type of transmission and processing and, of course, the rapid and complete recovery from data loss.<\/p>\n

It makes sense not only to look at individual areas of IT with regard to data protection, but also to examine the whole IT concept of the company and to analyse all phases of the data generation, e.g. via the website, from storage to use.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Which data is affected?<\/h3>\n

The DSGVO regulates the handling of all personal data, the storage or archiving of which does not have to be based on statutory provisions. So if you are, for example, Collecting people’s names and e-mail addresses via your website, saving employee or customer data, or creating a directory of their former customers, you are required to comply with the provisions of the GDPR. It is also important that if the storage of the data does not prove compelling on the basis of a contractual relationship, you as the contractor must state the purpose of the storage. Every single person must have demonstrably given their consent.<\/p>\n

Which areas are affected?<\/h3>\n

As already briefly mentioned, the GDPR concerns all areas of electronic data processing.<\/p>\n
