IT and communications provider Daisy Group has launched an innovative new solution capable of transforming the way businesses manage the upcoming GDPR.
‘GDPR Check & Protect’ is software developed in-house by Daisy’s award-winning ‘Wisdom’ division.
It provides businesses with a secure data storage solution, whilst simultaneously performing document lifecycle management compliant with the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) coming into effect on 25th May 2018.
Comprising four elements:
- Check
- Import
- Transform
- Manage
…Wisdom GDPR Check & Protect searches, analyses and reports on all data that is stored on servers, network drives, shared drives and desktops.
Selected data can then be imported into the system where the files can be identified, classified, de-duplicated and have necessary GDPR-relevant retention policies applied.
Danielle Price, Head of Sales at Daisy Wisdom, said:
“The new GDPR regulations are stricter than businesses have been used to when it comes to collecting, managing and storing data – and whilst GDPR has been a hot topic for quite some time now, I still believe that there is a lot of ambiguity as to what is classed as acceptable and what is classed as non-compliant.”
“We have produced a solution that will assess, cleanse, manage and dispose of data in a manner that complies with GDPR, without those in the business having to be experts themselves, or having to undergo system training. It really does cover all aspects of data storage and is particularly ideal for businesses that hold sensitive data.”
Price continued: “Many businesses will be unsure where to start, so the GDPR readiness assessment service that we offer is ideal to help them understand where they are at the moment and how much work they really have to do.”
In December 2017, Wisdom was awarded the ‘Records Management Product of the Year’ accolade at the Document Manager Awards for the second year running, and this year it also received runner-up in the Compliance Product of the Year category.
Wisdom is exhibiting at the UK Public Sector Data & GDPR Summit in London on March 13th.
