Why “we use AWS Frankfurt” is not the same as GDPR-by-design
Choosing AWS Frankfurt doesn't automatically equal GDPR compliance. You need to understand your obligations and implement appropriate security measures. Fusion Lot ensures your compliance.
We often hear: “We use AWS Frankfurt, so we are GDPR compliant.” This is a dangerous assumption. While server location is important, it is only one of many factors determining GDPR compliance. Fusion Lot helps ensure comprehensive GDPR compliance.
What does GDPR-by-design mean?
GDPR-by-design means that data protection principles are built into every stage of system development and operation. It is not just about choosing a server location, but a holistic approach to data protection.
- Pseudonymization and encryption: Protecting personal data with technical measures.
- Transparency: Clear and understandable communication about data processing.
- Data minimization: Collecting only the necessary data.
- Right to be forgotten: Allowing users to request deletion of their data.
AWS Frankfurt and shared responsibility
AWS provides a secure infrastructure, but you are responsible for the security of the data and applications you host on AWS. This includes configuring security settings, managing access, and implementing appropriate security measures.
