How to comply
Complying with the UK DPA involves protecting all company smartphones, computers, applications, and any environment where customer data is stored or accessed.
If your organization uses mobile devices, this means deploying a Mobile Threat Defense solution to protect smartphones and tablets from malware, phishing, and network exploits.
For companies developing applications, it means ensuring apps handle personal data securely and remediating risky behaviors and vulnerabilities using source code analysis and Compliance Audits.
