Company’s Offerings Assist Organizations with
Minimizing Breach Risk for GDPR Compliance while Optimizing
Existing Security Investments
Optiv Security, a market-leading provider of end-to-end cyber
security solutions, today announced a unique, programmatic approach
that distills the complex European Union (EU) General Data
Protection Regulation (GDPR) and enables companies to meet all
cyber security-related requirements of the regulation. As part of
its approach, Optiv offers a comprehensive suite of solutions and
services that help companies minimize their breach risk for GDPR
compliance while leveraging their existing security
investments.
“The roadmap to regulatory compliance can be overwhelming and
expensive, especially when intersected with the complex patchwork
of deployed security solutions. As such, compliance scenarios like
GDPR require security expertise to address,” said Stuart Solomon,
executive vice president of security solutions and operations for
Optiv. “Optiv’s experienced team of risk, compliance and security
professionals focus on helping companies identify and resolve
specific concerns related to the new regulatory environment. By
enabling clients to establish business-aligned, risk-based,
threat-aware information security programs, compliance becomes a
positive side effect.”
Optiv’s unique, multi-pronged solution for GDPR compliance helps
organizations dissect out the regulation’s cyber security
components from those that fall into two other key areas of
business—legal and IT. From this, security leaders can more easily
understand which aspects of the regulation they own and how to work
with legal and IT leaders to make better-informed business
decisions. This helps companies minimize their breach risk and meet
GDPR’s cyber security-specific requirements.
Optiv has identified six cyber security pillars of GDPR
compliance and the high-level steps to comply with each:
- Data Governance – Understand the
GDPR regulations as it relates to the business and then activate a
plan to meet those obligations.
- Data Classification – Analyze
what data within the environment is relevant to the GDPR and
develop proper classification scheme for ongoing data
management.
- Data Discovery – Determine where
sensitive data is stored across your environment and set up
policies and procedures to manage it.
- Data Access – Recognize who has
access to data and set up policies and procedures for access
management and governance.
- Data Handling – Prepare for the
chance of an incident, ensure that plans are in place to meet GDPR
obligations regarding the handling of sensitive information.
- Data Protection – Plan, build
and run an appropriate security program for the protection of
sensitive information.
In addition to helping companies better understand GDPR, Optiv
delivers a comprehensive offering with a suite of solutions and
services that enable companies to comply with the six cyber
security pillars of GDPR, while additionally maximizing their
current security investments. These pillars fall across multiple
Optiv cyber security areas of focus, including: risk and
compliance, third-party risk management, identity and access
management, security operations, cloud security and incident
response. Understanding how these functions fit into the
requirements of GDPR is critical to achieving and sustaining
compliance. Optiv helps companies plan, build and run successful
cyber security programs that keep regulations like GDPR in
mind.
“GDPR continues to baffle many business, security and IT
leaders, who struggle with its complexity and are unclear how it
impacts their organization, if at all. The vast amount of services
and products, and conversations related to GDPR make it difficult
to cut through the noise and know what path to take forward to
achieve compliance,” said J.R. Cunningham, senior executive
director, strategy, risk and compliance for Optiv. “Optiv is here
to help deliver clarity amongst the chaos. We assist companies with
tackling the cyber security piece of GDPR using the same philosophy
we recommend to clients to solve all their security problems every
day—through a holistic, programmatic approach that includes the
right mix of staff, processes and technologies.”
