The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) affects all organisations that process personal data (PII) of citizens of the European Union and will apply from May 27, 2018. It imposes on every organisation, big or small, as well as on both PII controllers who collect data and those who process the data, called PII processors, the setting up of adequate protection and compliance with the regulation and to prove, in the case of a complaint or violation, conformity with the requirements and the stated principles of protection. This can be achieved with a well-defined management system and proper documentation. Depending on the risks associated with the processing, it also imposes the appointment of a Data Protection Officer (DPO), a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) and the formal justification that sufficient measures have been taken to reduce the risk of disclosure, manipulation, or loss of data. These requirements are accompanied by the announcement of extremely severe, proportional but dissuasive, administrative penalties. This presentation explains the requirements on SMEs and gives guidance on how to address them.
Presented by Dr. Carlo Harpes for Jonk Handwierk at LaLux Auditorium in Leudelange.
From 20 to 24 November 2017, Dr Carlo Harpes participated in the ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 27 'IT Security techniques' subcommittee meeting in Berlin.
This year, itrust consulting continued its sponsorship for HACK.LU 2017 (17/10 to 19/10) and BSides Luxembourg 2017 (20/10), where our IT Security expert Rémi Chipaux presented his project ‘malware hunting chatbot’ in Europe.
On 17th October 2017, Lëtzebuerger Gemengen published an interview with Dr Carlo Harpes, founder and Managing Director of itrust consulting.
Risk analysis is a central approach in the cybersecurity environment; this is why itrust consulting has developed, in partnership with Luxmetering G.I.E., a real-time risk monitoring tool, that represents a technological evolution of its TRICK Service tool. Carlo Harpes, founder and Managing Director of itrust consulting, explains us the result of this three-year collaboration and the benefits of this new tool for companies.
This tool is the result of a cooperation with Luxmetering G.I.E., Creos Luxembourg S.A., and uni.lu and was co-funded by the Ministry of the Economy within the project 'Smart Grid Luxembourg - Cockpit'.
