Simplify GDPR Compliance with Identity-Centric Security

What Is GDPR and Why It Matters

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is an EU law designed to protect how personal data is collected, used, and stored. It gives individuals more control over their information and requires organizations to be transparent and responsible in how they manage that data. 

Failing to comply can be costly. In 2023, Meta was fined €1.2 billion—a record-breaking penalty for improper data transfers under GDPR. 

Many organizations struggle with GDPR compliance due to: 

• Lack of centralized visibility into user access 

• Orphaned or over-provisioned accounts 

• Difficulty demonstrating compliance during audits 

• Delays in processing data subject access requests (DSARs) 

• Inconsistent enforcement of least privilege 

How OpenIAM Helps with GDPR Compliance

OpenIAM’s Workforce Identity Platform gives you the tools to control, audit, and prove who has access to what data—so you can meet GDPR expectations and reduce risk.  We empower your organization to respond faster to audits, enforce least privilege, and simplify data protection at scale. 

✅ Centralized Identity Governance 

Manage all user access from one platform. No more gaps or duplication. Supports GDPR Article 25 for "data protection by design." 

✅ Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) 

Give users access only to what they need—and nothing more. Access is removed automatically when roles change. This helps meet the GDPR principle of data minimization. 

✅ Access Certifications Made Simple 

Run scheduled or one-time access reviews. Track who approved access and why. Stay audit-ready at all times. 

✅ Full Audit Trails 

See who accessed what, when, and why. All actions—grants, revokes, approvals—are tracked in real time to help during audits and DSAR reviews. 

✅ Smart Deprovisioning 

Automatically remove access when users leave or change roles. Prevent risk from dormant accounts. 

✅ Faster Response to DSARs 

Quickly locate personal data across systems. Respond to Articles 15 and 17 requests efficiently and confidently.
