Many companies have been working hard to ensure they are GPDR compliant by the end of this week. For many, Nextcloud has been a part of that, simplifying compliance by helping companies keep sensitive data in-house. Today, we release a Nextcloud Compliance Kit to help these organizations comply with the requirements of the GDPR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GDPR requirements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The GDPR requires businesses and other organizations who handle data from private users to offer clarity about how they use this data as well as a way to access, rectify or delete it. When dealing with a public cloud vendor, data leaves the control sphere of the business and a Data Processing Agreement needs to be signed with the cloud vendor. The business then has to ensure processes are set up to deal with GDPR related requests to be compliant. Keeping data in-house by self hosting negates the need for dealing with one more external party, keeping the whole process in-house and simplifying compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n

The security requirements demand organizations to take appropriate measures to secure data. A Nextcloud Subscription delivers security patches and consulting based on our expertise and Security Bug Bounty Program, helping Nextcloud customers to make sure that this requirement is met.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compliance Kit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The kit offers Nextcloud customers tools and documentation to make compliance a checklist-affair. Specific features in two Nextcloud apps and an update, a GDPR compliance steps walk-through and a detailed account of data handling in Nextcloud with instructions on how to extract, modify and delete data as required by law, make up the package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GDPR compliance is a major concern for many of our customers. Our GDPR Compliance Kit essentially takes these concerns away with regards to the file handling, collaboration and communication capabilities as offered by Nextcloud<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
