Encryption is the best way to be safe. From 2018 onwards, "state of the art" security such as Kingston or Ironkey hardware-based encrypted USB flash drives will be required by companies to protect personal data.
Awareness
Any data that can be used to directly or indirectly identify a person constitutes personal data. This data must now be protected under new GDPR law. The best way to become safe and compliant is by using an Encrypted USB. Kingston Encrypted USB memory sticks are password-protected, ensuring critical and sensitive data is safe and secure. A Kingston 256-bit AES hardware-based encrypted USB flash drive will help your organisation become compliant.
Evaluate
Your business should evaluate and understand who uses and has access to sensitive and critical data within your organisation. You should then evaluate if that data needs protecting with an Encrypted USB memory stick. Employees carrying data out-of-office increase the risk of data being compromised. Whether you are an SME (micro, small and medium-sized enterprise) or a large organisation, you need to evaluate your processes and become compliant if you move personal data around.
Solution
Whether you choose a Kingston DataTraveler or Kingston Ironkey encrypted USB memory stick, you will become GDPR compliant. Kingston's range of USB flash drives are FIPS certified with advanced security features such as password protection, and are compatible with all the major operating systems including Windows and Mac OS.
Implement
Adding password protected, Kingston encrypted USB flash drives to your organisation's resources is the best way to becoming GDPR-compliant and vastly minimises the risk of personal and sensitive data being compromised.
