The GDPR is a European personal data privacy law that applies to any organization that does business in Europe (regardless of its physical location). It sets guidelines for the collection, processing, and storage of European residents’ personally identifiable information. The GDPR law was enforced to protect all personal information, including the ones that are dealt with on mobile devices and applications.
Personal data shall be processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security which includes protection against unauthorized processing, accidental loss, destruction, or damage.
Organizations shall implement data protection by design, by deploying appropriate solutions which are specifically designed to protect data.
Organizations shall guarantee users’ data security commensurately to risk levels by putting in place procedures to regularly test, analyze and evaluate security practices.
