With the new privacy law updates in the form of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), data privacy has become a hot topic. AppDynamics SaaS customers can be assured that AppDynamics and Cisco have also been preparing for GDPR readiness to help our customers with this new regulation.

Last week, we'll bet you've received an onslaught of "we've updated our privacy policy" emails. If you're a website manager maybe you've been writing those emails and ensuring your site is compliant with the new regulations. It's been interesting (for us anyway) to listen to reactions to GDPR. It seems that people are split between "what a nightmare - so much paperwork" and "this is great - it protects our privacy" and there is no doubt that we have felt a bit of both.

The rather broad definition of personal data in the GDPR requires paying special attention to log data. GDPR and personal data in web server logs is a popular topic in many GDPR fora. For example, IP addresses or cookies might be considered personal data. Consequently, such data must be stored only with the consent of customers for a limited time. It is highly recommended to anonymize personal data before you hand over the logs to any 3rd party to minimize risk.

Organizations both small and large that deal with personal data must be compliant with GDPR rules. At Coralogix, we’ve been working hard to be prepared for GDPR. Preparing your data for GDPR can be a daunting task, so we thought we’d shed some light on the issue.

We’re just a few months away from mandatory compliance with GDPR. The European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) replaces the EU National Data Protection legislation and is due to take effect in May 2018. The GDPR is a new regulation to protect personal data of EU citizens. It affects all organizations (even outside of the EU) that process data of EU citizens. In our previous article “Preparing for the GDPR”, we shared some resources for learning more about the GDPR.

At Status.io, we always treat personal data with care and respect. We’re embracing the spirit of the GDPR and have been looking at how we can improve the security and protections of personal data. Below we’re sharing some resources to help you better understand the GDPR and how it can affect your organization.
