Security of processing

GDPR Article 32: the risk-based security obligation shared by controllers and processors, its four named measures, how the appropriate level of security is assessed, and the regulator decisions that show what falls short.

Article 32 Security of processing

The overall security obligation: risk-based measures weighed against the state of the art and cost, the risks Article 32(2) says to consider, certification as evidence, and recent fines that show what regulators treat as inadequate.

Article 32(1)(a) Pseudonymization and encryption

The two named technical measures: the legal meaning of pseudonymization, why pseudonymized data stay personal data, encryption and key separation, and how encryption affects breach communication and transfer risk.
