For businesses, a single complaint can quickly turn into an audit, costs, and lost trust. The good news: you don’t need perfect compliance – you need repeatable processes: ✅ clear responsibilities ✅ solid documentation (“if it’s not documented, it didn’t happen”) ✅ regular training (human error is still the #1 trigger) ✅ technical safeguards that enforce good habits ✅ privacy-by-design when rolling out AI and cloud tools Here’s the full breakdown: https://lnkd.in/dSYmR_6P #GDPR #DataProtection #Compliance #Cybersecurity #AICompliance #RiskManagement #SMB

Email isn’t “𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐥” anymore. In 2026, your mail client is part of your security stack. BSI’s latest analysis makes one thing clear: most tools check the encryption box – but the real difference is what happens after the email arrives: phishing warnings, tracking protection, cloud data flows, and secure defaults. If you’re an SME, this choice decides more than UX. It affects: ✅ how easy phishing is to spot ✅ whether tracking pixels can spy on your team ✅ how much control you keep over company data We broke down the BSI findings into a practical checklist for IT and Ops – without the jargon. 👉 Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/dnNx-KCj #CyberSecurity #DataProtection #SME #EmailSecurity #Phishing #Compliance #GDPR #ITSecurity #BSI

149 million passwords were discovered in a publicly accessible database — including credentials for services like Gmail, Facebook, Instagram, and even government accounts. According to security researcher Fowler Jeremiah the exposed database was reported to have been accessed, and the records kept growing until access was blocked. What this means for businesses: What this means for businesses: this isn’t just a “change your password” moment. Infostealer malware can grab passwords and browser/session data – meaning attackers may still get in even if your password looks strong. 3 practical moves to start today: ⮕ 𝐓𝐮𝐫𝐧 𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐅𝐀 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 (ideally authenticator app or security key, not SMS). ⮕ 𝐔𝐬𝐞 𝐚 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐫 + 𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭 (no repeats, no shared spreadsheets). ⮕ 𝐑𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐫 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐤: patch devices, limit admin rights, harden endpoint protection, and run short, regular phishing training.

TikTok now has to tell EU users when data is transferred to China. Not as a “nice-to-have” update – as a real GDPR transparency obligation. Why this matters beyond TikTok: ✅ If data leaves the EEA, companies need a clear legal basis + safeguards ✅ “Third-country transfers” aren’t just a legal detail – they’re a trust decision ✅ And for marketers: pixels/SDKs can quietly turn into compliance risk This is a turning point for European data sovereignty – and a reminder that privacy isn’t a checkbox. It’s part of the product (and the brand).

“Please send me all data you store about me.” Sounds simple – until the 1-month GDPR deadline starts ticking. The Right of Access (Art. 15 GDPR) is one of the most powerful data subject rights – and one of the biggest operational challenges for companies. It exposes messy data landscapes, missing processes, and manual work that doesn’t scale. Handled right, access requests become an opportunity: more transparency, stronger trust, and better compliance across the board. 👉 Full breakdown, obligations & best practices: https://lnkd.in/dDBBhqjp #GDPR #RightOfAccess #DataProtection #Compliance #Privacy
