Atos and Marsh join forces to help companies anticipate the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Paris, Lille 25 January 2017 - Atos, a leader in digital transformation, and
Marsh, one of the world leaders in insurance brokerage and business risk
management consulting, are extending their partnership and offering an end-to-
end solution to support their customers in the coming years with the
implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation.
Coming into force from May 2018 with the aim of strengthening and unifying data
protection for individuals within the European Union, the GDPR will have a
structural impact on the security of IT systems and the management of cyber
risks, causing a fundamental shift in how personal data is managed throughout
its lifecycle.
Data protection officers and IT security managers will be able to make use of
the combined services and expertise of Atos and Marsh to:
* Carry out a risk and impact assessment, enabling them to plan and implement
the necessary measures to reduce the impact of potential damage linked to
the protection of personal data
* Implement the new "security by default" rule which requires all
organisations to have a secure IT system
* Revise procedures for managing personal data so as to adapt them to the new
regulations and support them with concrete measures to strengthen
protection.
"The protection of personal data is a major goal for Atos," says Chris Moret,
Vice President Cybersecurity at Atos. "Together with Marsh, we have put in place
an end-to-end concept to support companies in identifying the risks linked to
the protection of this data, and in implementing technological control
mechanisms for the related risks. Our cybersecurity products, marketed under our
Bull brand, are focused on securing sensitive data and managing their access to
the nth degree. What is more, our SOC (Security operations centres) are
mobilised 24/7 to neutralise any suspicious activity in relation to this data."
"The GDPR has amplified the cyber risk of companies and made it increasingly
necessary to consider insurance to be one of the tools available to companies to
finance the impacts of cyber risks," adds Luc Vignancour, Cyber & Crime Practice
Leader at Marsh.
Atos and Marsh are attending the International Cybersecurity Forum (FIC) 2017,
at stand A22. Their experts are available to discuss all the issues surrounding
the protection of personal data.
