What is GDPR compliance? The challenge Netskope's solutions for GDPR compliance Key questions answered in this guide

What is GDPR compliance? link link

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) protects individuals’ rights and control over their personal data. It unifies regulatory standards across the EU/EEA. The law simplifies international business regulation and strengthens data protection. Organizations must implement security measures from the outset (data protection by design) and ensure only necessary data is processed by default. Accountability and transparency in handling personal data is also mandatory. Organizations operating within the EU, or those outside the EU that offer goods or services to EU individuals or monitor their behavior, must comply.

 

 The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) protects individuals' rights and control over their personal data.

The challenge link link

Organizations find GDPR compliance difficult because personal data is spread across web, SaaS, private apps, and devices, making real-time visibility and control hard to achieve. Misconfigurations in SaaS and IaaS environments increase risk and weaken principles like “data protection by design and default”. Responding promptly to requests such as data access or erasure is challenging without knowing exactly where data resides. Breach notifications within 72 hours require immediate and accurate assessment, which is complicated by the distributed nature of data. Failure to comply carries a risk of significant fines, up to €20 million or 4% of annual global turnover – whichever is higher.

 

Netskope's solutions for GDPR compliance link link

  • Netskope One DLP: Netskope’s advanced data loss prevention (DLP) engine uses machine learning to discover and secure personal data across web, cloud applications, and endpoint devices. This directly assists data controllers with scoping personal data and applying context-aware policies in real time, helping meet principles like the security of processing.
  • Netskope One SSE: SSE tools, including cloud access security broker (CASB) and next generation secure web gateway (NG-SWG), use DLP and predefined GDPR profiles to identify and protect sensitive data in cloud and web environments. This provides the foundational visibility for controlling data processing.
  • Netskope One SSPM: These tools continuously monitor SaaS platforms to prevent misconfigurations, ensuring data protection by design and default is applied. They integrate with the cloud ticket orchestrator (CTO) for automated remediation and continuous compliance.
  • Netskope One UEBA: User and entity behavior analytics monitors user activity across services, establishing normal behavior baselines to detect anomalies that could signal a breach, enabling adaptive policy controls based on user risk.
  • Universal Zero Trust Network Access: UZTNA enforces zero trust principles for secure remote access, supporting encrypted data transfer and strict login policies to protect access to personal data.
  • Netskope Cloud Confidence Index: Netskope scores cloud applications and services based on security policies, certifications, and privacy concerns. This assists organizations in assessing and mitigating vendor risk (potential processors).
  • Netskope One Advanced Analytics: This capability visualizes data flows, including cross-border transfers, to assist data controllers in determining whether transfers meet adequacy decisions or other appropriate safeguards. It helps maintain accurate records of processing activities.
  • Automated Incident Response: Netskope assists in meeting the mandatory 72-hour breach notification requirement by helping to automate response actions like alerting teams and restricting access, and by providing forensic reporting for scope assessment.
