Optiv Security's New Comprehensive Approach Helps Enterprises Clarify and Satisfy All Cyber Security Requirements of General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)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:
"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."
