Keyavi DataTM Champions Data Privacy Day by Sharing GDPR White Paper

Building a Data Privacy Program Doesn’t Always Require Set Regulations

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Keyavi Data Corp., a cybersecurity trailblazer transforming the very nature of data protection, today kicked off its observance of Data Privacy Day by issuing a white paper for U.S. organizations embarking on a privacy program based on the European Union’s 2018 data privacy law known as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Authored by Céline Gravelines, a cybersecurity analyst at Keyavi, this white paper explores an alternative approach for building a data privacy and protection program relative to the GDPR’s one-size-fits-all requirements. It also provides guidance for reducing an organization’s privacy risk when developing such a program.

“For U.S.-based organizations, understanding the GDPR’s reach and knowing which privacy regulations and laws apply can be daunting – and adopting those regulations can be even more overwhelming,” said Céline Gravelines, Keyavi’s director of professional services and cybersecurity analyst. “For many organizations, a regulation-first GDPR approach isn’t optimal for promoting a culture of data privacy and security. Instead, the focus should be on interpreting a broad set of privacy requirements, then using existing security controls to improve the organization’s privacy position.”

Céline Gravelines specializes in security research, with expertise in policy development, incident response, data classification, security metrics and threat intelligence. Follow her on LinkedIn.
