The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) introduced a higher bar than ever before for data protection, in all industries. It applies to any company that comes in contact with any form of European personal data. Article 32 of the GDPR, covering the security of processing recommends the use of encryption for personal data. In fact, encryption is increasingly recognized as the “get out of jail free card”, because GDPR does not require you to report a data breach if it involves data that was encrypted, giving companies a powerful incentive to re-think their company-wide encryption strategy.
