Press Release
You may be concerned about compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and the implications that achieving or not achieving compliance would have for your business. With Pivot Point Security as your GDPR consulting firm partner, navigating through the GDPR and reaching compliance is a guaranteed reality. Clients that work with us rest easy knowing where they currently stand, where they need to be and what resources they need; in short, they have a “roadmap” to achieve compliance.
Does GDPR Apply to Me?
Does your firm hold or process any personally identifiable information of EU citizens? This can be almost anything: name, email address, bank account, or credit card numbers, address, employer, etc.
If you answer “yes” to that question, you are within the jurisdiction of the General Data Protection Regulation regardless of the size, purpose, or location of your business.
We look at organizations in three tiers when assessing privacy efforts to comply with GDPR:
✔ Tier 1 is a US company with no EU offices or EU employees with a limited number of EU clients/records
✔ Tier 2 is a US company with EU offices and/or EU employees with a moderate number of EU clients/records
✔ Tier 3 is an EU company with US offices with a significant number of EU clients/records

Helping Orgs Strategize InfoSec Initiatives is What We Do
For over 20 years we have led hundreds of firms to reach their security goals with the first step often being; which security framework(s) would be most beneficial to our business? But enough about us… let’s ask a more important question.
The stakes are high
The regulation calls out penalties that can reach “the greater of €20 million or 4% of global annual turnover.” While there has currently been no precedent set for GDPR non-compliance, we know penalties are on the way.
A strong initial effort towards GDPR compliance will pay large dividends for years to come. Compliance is essential for doing business with EU citizens, as well as to address emerging US privacy regulations like the California Consumer Protection Act of 2018.
