Data Protection Compliance:
How CrowdStrike Can Help
Risk-based cybersecurity obligations are part of a global trend that includes regulations such as the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Directive on Security of Network and Information Systems (NIS Directive), PIPEDA, Australia’s Notifiable Data Breaches scheme, U.S. federal requirements such as HIPAA and GLBA, and state data breach laws.
CrowdStrike empowers organizations to meet evolving regulatory requirements
Organizations around the globe face consequences if they do not adopt adequate cybersecurity measures. From sector-specific regulations to laws focused on incident response, organizations must shift from reactive to proactive security preparedness to meet today’s enhanced obligations.
This is why many organizations turn to CrowdStrike® to assist with holistic cybersecurity preparedness, incident response, and endpoint security.

Cybersecurity is a key component of data protection and GDPR compliance
Organizations around the globe that process European personal data must maintain "appropriate security of the personal data, taking into account the state of the art, and implementing appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk"(GDPR Art. 5(1)(f)).
Moreover, organizations must record investigations into data breaches and, depending on the impact and risks posed to individuals, may need to alert supervisory authorities or affected individuals within 72 hours.
CrowdStrike can prepare you to protect, report, and stop breaches
The CrowdStrike Services Team helps organizations across the globe assess their organizational and technical preparedness against cybersecurity incidents. Enhancing organizational maturity increases your ability to respond to and prevent further damage should a breach occur, thereby reducing compliance risks.
Standards evolve. Falcon evolves.
Between the time the final GDPR language was finalized on May 4, 2016, until the regulation took effect on May 25, 2018, the risks posed to data protection changed dramatically.
Risks to data protection evolve rapidly, so why wouldn’t your endpoint security? CrowdStrike’s cloud-based crowdsourced model adapts in real time to identify indicators of attack (IOAs) and meet the threats of tomorrow rather than focusing only on the known compromises of the past.
CrowdStrike’s Falcon is a data protection asset
Compliance dollars should be spent wisely. The CrowdStrike Falcon® platform is designed to stop breaches and maintain the integrity and confidentiality of personal data. This provides enterprisewide insight into the security events occurring on endpoints to enable accountability for data protection.
Many legacy security solutions rely on the customer to maintain appliances, patch vulnerabilities, update definitions and hope for the best. The CrowdStrike Falcon® platform removes these compliance headaches by using state-of-the-art cloud-based technology to deliver up-to-date, real-time protection against ever-evolving threats. This means that organizations can meet advancing standards of “appropriate” cybersecurity safeguards with a simple, lightweight solution that scales and is immediately operational without sacrificing endpoint speed or diverting security resources.
GDPR compliance is a key part of CrowdStrike’s approach to cybersecurity
The CrowdStrike Falcon® platform is designed with data protection in mind, empowering customers to stop breaches by implementing state-of-the-art safeguards with transparency, portability, data minimization and proportionality to safeguard enterprises and further legitimate interests, such as those in GDPR Recitals 47, 48 and 49.
