Protecting personal data isn’t just good practice — it’s the law. HANDD helps you secure personal data in transit and at rest, control where it flows, and produce the audit trail you need to demonstrate accountability under GDPR.
GDPR governs how you collect, store, move, and process the personal data of anyone in the EU/EEA, regardless of where your company is based. Only collect what you need, protect it properly, don’t keep it longer than necessary, and be ready to prove you’re doing all of this on request.
Most organisations don’t fail GDPR because of one big mistake — they fail because personal data quietly ends up somewhere nobody mapped, moves through a channel nobody secured, or gets kept long after it should have been deleted. HANDD helps close those gaps.
GDPR isn’t a one-time registration. It demands ongoing discipline across:
Knowing what personal data you hold, why, and where it flows (Article 30).
Safeguarding personal data leaving the EEA with the right legal mechanism (Articles 44–49).
Spotting incidents fast enough to meet the 72-hour reporting duty (Article 33).
Responding to access, correction, and erasure requests within statutory deadlines.
Making sure every third party touching your data meets its own obligations (Article 28).
Not holding more personal data, or for longer, than the purpose requires (Article 5).
For many organisations, this becomes a heavy operational burden spread across legal, IT, and security teams. HANDD removes the technical weight of this by managing it for you.
GDPR works best when security, monitoring, and evidence are treated as an always-on operating model — not a once-a-year policy review.
Encryption in transit and at rest, access control, and managed transfer with destination restrictions — supporting Article 32 security and Articles 44–49 transfer safeguards.
Detects and blocks personal data leaving approved channels, supporting data minimisation and faster breach discovery under Article 33.
Transfer logs, access records, and audit trails that feed your Records of Processing Activities and breach investigations.
Note: these tools support the technical and organisational security measures Article 32 requires, and produce evidence for accountability — they don’t replace a full GDPR programme. Lawful basis assessments, DPIAs, DPO arrangements, and data subject rights handling remain legal and organisational responsibilities outside any single tool’s scope.
Encrypts personal data in transit and at rest, restricts where it can be sent, and logs every transfer — supporting Article 32 security and Articles 44–49 cross-border safeguards.
Detects and blocks personal data leaving approved channels — reducing exposure and helping you spot incidents fast enough to meet the 72-hour breach notification duty.
Centralises and maps how personal data moves between systems — supporting your Records of Processing Activities and reducing hidden, unmapped copies of personal data.
Automated monitoring and anomaly detection support the ongoing testing Article 32 requires.
Note: AI tools that process personal data are their own processing activity — they need a lawful basis, and may require a DPIA if they involve profiling or automated decisions.
