LONDON, June 6, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- InfoSecurity Europe, Stand #E20 -- Qualys, Inc. (NASDAQ: QLYS), a pioneer and leading provider of cloud-based security and compliance solutions, today announced it now offers customers purpose-built content, workflows and reporting in its cloud platform to provide them with continuous IT asset visibility, data collection and risk evaluation for compliance with the European Union (EU) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). It also helps customers with ongoing protection of personal data across global IT environments and third parties.
Qualys will demonstrate these capabilities for enabling GDPR Compliance during the InfoSecurity Europe conference at Stand #E20.
GDPR requires organizations globally to properly track and protect their EU customers' personal data or face penalties and fines on multiple fronts. By tracking and classifying the IT assets which contain that data, and by adopting overall data governance and security programs, organizations can address GDPR requirements to identify, classify, and limit access to protected personal data. Qualys combines several cost-effective security and compliance solutions in one cloud-based platform — enabling customers with single-pane visibility of their risk both internally, and across third-party data processors, thus helping them maintain continuous visibility of their GDPR compliance state.
"The data processing landscape has seen huge changes since 1995, and the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is an opportunity for all organizations to harmonize their data protection," said Jamal Dahmane, chief information security officer, Group Essilor. "Besides the implementation of the processes and the organization required to continuously support GDPR compliance, it is necessary to have tools that help us gain the best visibility and react at the right time."
"In this era of global and digital business, every organization needs to consider how to protect their data and that of their customers," said Philippe Courtot, chairman and CEO, Qualys, Inc. "It is vital that organizations with EU or any customer data understand how to get visibility and secure their IT assets, data and supply chain. This is what the Qualys Cloud Platform allows customers to do with a high degree of accuracy and scale, at a much lower cost than enterprise software point solutions."
Qualys GDPR Compliance Solution
The Qualys Cloud Platform incorporates more than 10 applications, which allow customers to efficiently comply with key GDPR elements by enabling them with global and continuous visibility, and the tools to secure data and processes across their IT assets and third parties:
