That Four Letter Monster: GDPR<\/h2>\n

We know \u2013 you\u2019re tired about hearing about GDPR<\/strong> \u2013 and you\u2019ve probably received a billion emails about it from marketers all over the world urging you to \u201cconfirm\u201d your subscription. As our CEO recently posted on Facebook:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThere were two kinds of IT people this week on Facebook \u2013 those that whined about
\nGDPR<\/strong> and those that got richer as a result of it.\u201d<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n

You can hear more of Vlad\u2019s unfiltered thoughts on GDPR<\/strong> in the Game Changer webinar<\/a> held earlier this month, but needless to say the GDPR<\/strong> is something that is here to stay and with every public privacy breach the notion of government regulation worldwide is going to start with GDPR as the foundation.<\/p>\n

What this means for you \u2013 regardless of whether you\u2019re the CIO or an MSP partner \u2013 is that client data privacy, disclosure, search, and reports will start consuming more of your time.<\/p>\n

Do you currently have a solution in place that can quickly tell you what sort of data you have on your clients? Beyond your CRM.<\/p>\n

What about the invoices that get emailed out with account numbers and addresses?<\/p>\n

What about any contracts or agreements that got emailed back and forth?<\/p>\n

I think you see where we are going with this: you need to prepare your IT for eDiscovery<\/strong><\/a><\/span> even if you don\u2019t have urgent, current, and pressing reason to do so. Penalties for exposing financial data are extreme and the more the world gets used to privacy disclosure and where client data may be stored the more requests and inquiries you will start seeing. Businesses (aka \u201cpeople with money\u201d) are the low hanging fruit that will be sued first<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This is by no means a new trend: We have been selling Compliance Archive<\/strong><\/span><\/a>\u00a0 and Corporate Encryption<\/strong><\/a> <\/span><\/span>for years but GDPR has really put the demand for these products into a new gear. For our partners, this has significantly increased both sales and service requests that are a giant opportunity for many to be ahead of the curve and regulatory changes worldwide.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Get ready for it today and call us \u2013 we have the products, the service, documentation, marketing collateral and back office legal support \u2013
\nall you need to do is present it to the client and can help you do the rest.<\/strong><\/p>\n
