GDPR

Home » Glossary Terms » GDPR

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a European Union regulation that establishes strict rules for processing personal data to protect individuals’ privacy and grant them control over their data. Organizations must ensure their Identity and Access Management (IAM) systems comply with GDPR to avoid legal consequences, financial penalties, and reputational damage. GDPR requires explicit user consent, data minimization, secure data storage and transmission, access control, regular audits, and reporting. Zero Trust principles, including identity-based access control, encryption, and real-time monitoring, support GDPR compliance by limiting unauthorized access and securing data integrity. Effective IAM strategies, such as Single Sign-On (SSO), Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), and consent management, play a crucial role in achieving GDPR compliance.
