MiniTool Assists Worldwide Companies in Achieving Compliance under GDPR

 Email This Post

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has superseded the Data Protection Directive and came into effect on 25 May 2018 in the European Union (EU). This regulation aims to protect the privacy of EU residents. Companies who fail to follow the GDPR have to pay a fine of up to €20 million or 4% of their global revenue, whichever is higher. To avoid this massive fine, MiniTool supplies companies with data protection solutions with its self-developed data protection products, including MiniTool Partition Wizard, MiniTool Power Data Recovery, and MiniTool ShadowMaker.

VANCOUVER, CANADA – July 10, 2018 — /BackupReview.info/ — MiniTool Solution Ltd., a worldwide computer software supplier, has updated its programs recently to meet the stringent requirements of the GDPR.

The GDPR has been in effect for nearly a month and affects not only European companies but also companies that target EU customers. The core of this regulation is “the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data”.

Companies, therefore, need to ensure that their customers’ data is securely stored and properly protected in order to avoid any penalties for failing to follow the GDPR. MiniTool’s upgraded products provide secure and effective solutions to avoid data disaster for companies.

Personal Data Leakage
Companies should take great care with personal data protection and ensure that appropriate technical data security measures are taken to achieve GDPR compliance. Additionally, a companies’ confidential information need to be properly protected from theft.

Companies can hide specified files and folders or use BitLocker to encrypt a drive to prevent data theft. Wiping sensitive information, however, should be done with a professional tool to avoid unwanted recovery. The dedicated partition manager – MiniTool Partition Wizard and its Wipe Partition function allows companies’ to erase data on a specified partition which contains confidential information. Files which are wiped by MiniTool Partition Wizard have been tested as complete unrecoverable by any data recovery software on the market today.

Personal Data Loss
Personal data loss is punishable by GDPR and also reduces the customers’ trust. The MiniTool Power Data Recovery, a free data recovery software, is an excellent back-up for companies to keep on hand.

This software has four recovery modules: This PC, Removable Disk Drive, Hard Disk Drive, and CD/DVD Drive. As long as the lost and deleted files are not overwritten by new data, companies can use these recovery modules to recover data from these types of storage devices.

Although there are some useful ways to recover lost and deleted data, Minitool also recommends making a back-up of a important data just in case the unthinkable occurs. Cloud backup is one recommended option and MiniTool ShadowMaker, file backup program, is another tool that can be used to protect a company’s valuable files.

Ransomware Infections
Ransomware, such as WannaCry and Bad Rabbit, is a big threat to a company’s data security. It can prevent companies from accessing files by encrypting data or locking computer screen using RSA, RC4 or custom encryption. Then, companies have to pay the ransom to unlock their files or computer. MiniTool provides companies with various Ransomware Prevention solutions to counter Ransomware.

It is a good idea to make a backup of companies’ important data in advance as a preventive measure against Ransomeware and other malware. Cloning the hard disk to an SSD is MiniTool’s recommended method of backing up important data. Both MiniTool Shadowmaker’s Clone Disk and MiniTool Partition Wizard’s Copy Disk can perform this function.

Moreover, for companies who have already been impacted by Ransomware and have no available backup, the free file recovery software – MiniTool Power Data Recovery – can be used to rescue the data.

With the enforcement of GDPR, companies have to make some big improvements in data protection and privacy. Companies who want to achieve GDPR compliance successfully should try MiniTool software, including its partition management software, data recovery tool, and files and disk backup programs.
