Learn how Rublon MFA can secure organizations with robust multi-factor authentication and help achieve compliance with GDPR by implementing strong authentication methods to protect personal data.
Scenario
An organization operating within the European Union or serving EU citizens must comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This regulation mandates the protection of personal data, making it essential for organizations to implement robust security measures to prevent unauthorized access to systems that process such data.
Challenge
Under GDPR, organizations must ensure that personal data is secured with appropriate technical measures. The European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) has published guidelines recommending specific security practices, including the use of multi-factor authentication (MFA) for accessing systems that handle personal data. The challenge for organizations is to implement these measures effectively to comply with GDPR, reduce the risk of data breaches, and avoid the severe penalties associated with non-compliance.
Solution
Implement Rublon MFA to secure access to all systems that process personal data, in line with ENISA’s recommendations. Rublon MFA provides an additional layer of security by requiring users to authenticate with multiple factors, such as passwords combined with biometric verification, security tokens, passkeys, or one-time passcodes. This ensures that even if one authentication method is compromised, unauthorized access is still prevented.
Benefits
Rublon MFA helps organizations meet the GDPR requirement for implementing appropriate technical measures to protect personal data. By enforcing multi-factor authentication, Rublon significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive information, thereby helping organizations avoid data breaches and the substantial fines associated with GDPR violations. This aligns with ENISA’s guidelines, which emphasize the importance of strong authentication measures in high-risk scenarios, such as when processing sensitive personal data or accessing it via mobile devices.
