The EU General Data Protection Regulation – in short, the GDPR – marks the biggest change in EU data privacy laws in more than 20 years, and it will have a transformative effect on the way companies manage and secure personal data.

The GDPR sets forth a complex regime of measures an organization must take to protect personal data, including the appointment of a data protection officer and the maintenance of detailed documentation to prove compliance. But the GDPR does not articulate a precise prescription for the technology that must be used to secure data.

Instead, GDPR takes a risk-based approach to requiring particular technical measures. Higher risk mandates more expense and effort to secure data. The overriding issue is whether data is at risk and which practices and technologies will effectively reduce those risks.

Key requirements for technical measures are set forth in GDPR Articles 5, 32, 33 and 34. 
Here's a short summary on how F-Secure products help you in protecting the personal data you are collecting.

GDPR Article 5

Ensure security of personal data

Requires you to process personal data so that it stays protected against accidental loss, destruction or damage. Threats like malware and ransomware could cause loss or destruction of data. Increased use of mobile devices and weak passwords also have an impact to confidentiality and data loss.
