In a guest post by Alex Martin, Security and Compliance Lead for EMEA at Amazon Web Services, we explore the complexities surrounding the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Despite ongoing confusion in the industry regarding effective compliance strategies and the rigor of enforcement, some organizations are making strides, while others adopt a more cautious “wait and see” approach.
Recently, I had the chance to meet with Sarah Brown, CEO of CloudTech, an AWS Partner that assists customers with various aspects of GDPR compliance. During our conversation, Sarah shared valuable insights into GDPR and how companies are utilizing cloud solutions to meet its requirements. She pointed out that many organizations face challenges in aligning legal standards with technical controls, as GDPR aims to unify diverse privacy laws across the European Union under a single, binding data protection framework. For some businesses, the shift from their existing privacy management to GDPR compliance is minimal, but others need to develop entirely new data protection strategies.
