\"GDPR<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is applicable since 25 May 2018. The purpose of this regulation is to protect the privacy of European citizens. One of the important aspects is on the technical side where records must be securely handled and stored so only people that need access to such data can get at it. TCM uses securedsystems<\/a>andmethods<\/a>for managing debt collection claims.\u2018Cloud Computing\u2019<\/strong>TCM shifted form own in-house servers to cloud computing in 2014. Data is now stored in anAW<\/strong>S (Amazon Web Services)<\/strong>data bank. One of the great advantages of this solution is its accessibility from any connected device, from anywhere in the world at any time. Another improvement is security as AWS provides much better security as compared to what we could manage with our in-house system.Intrusion tests<\/strong>Naturally, design is paramount and we needed to check that our solutions are hacker proof. We asked thecomputer firm<\/strong>EASI<\/a><\/strong>to undergo penetration testing. They have a dedicated team for such \u2018ethical hacking\u2019.\u00a0 They attempt in different ways to pass through the closed doors. The \u2018ethical hackers\u2019 were provided with IP addresses and went to work between 7 and 11 July 2018. All our data banks (production, copy, replica) were tested.What tests?<\/strong>They performed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
