A data centre and managed service provider, The Bunker, has announced a new colocation service. The firm says it’s for businesses to become compliant in the run up to the European Union-wide General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) coming into force this month; and beyond.
This GDPR-ready colocation is the first solution in The GDPR Service Suite from The Bunker – a suite of contractually-backed pay-as-you-go services. The Bunker will guarantee compliance with specific articles of the GDPR, including the security of processing, meeting the responsibilities of the data protection officer, the transfer of personal data to third-parties and more.
The company points to its ISO 2700I (international standard for information security management) accredited and ex-military facilities, a 24/7 service desk, adherence to codes of conduct and auditable assurance which allows site visits and offers transparency of its services to external auditors.
Businesses opting for this service can also get GDPR consultancy from the wider Cyberfort Group.
Phil Bindley, managing director at The Bunker said: “The messaging around GDPR over the past year has focused too much on scaremongering and whether businesses will be ready in time for the May deadline. Organisations should view GDPR as an opportunity and facilitator for business growth rather than a barrier, and in order for this to happen, it’s important that any technological solutions have compliance inbuilt from the onset from suppliers that really understand the new regulation. We don’t compromise when it comes to industry standards, so providing a suite of services designed to specifically address certain articles of GDPR was the obvious next step in order to assist our customers with their compliance journey.”
