GDPR Compliance For Email

The Challenges of GDPR

Under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), all organizations – whether within or outside the EU – need to obtain EU residents’ consent to store or process their personal data, maintain “privacy by design” and respond quickly to their “subject access” and “right to be forgotten” requests. With GDPR enforcement now in place, this can pose significant new burdens on organizations of all sizes.

By its very nature, all email contains personal data and is especially vulnerable to cybercriminal exploits. Fortunately, architecting a security, privacy and governance solution for email can be fast and simple with Mimecast and a natural first step for bringing your organization into alignment with GDPR requirements.
