GDPR
The European Union's General Data Protection Regulation, governing how the personal data of individuals in the EU is collected, processed, protected, and shared.
In more detail
The General Data Protection Regulation is the European Union's comprehensive data protection law. It governs how organizations collect, use, store, and share the personal data of individuals in the EU, and it applies to any organization handling that data regardless of where the organization itself is located. It sets a high bar that has influenced privacy law well beyond Europe.
It grants individuals strong rights, to access their data, correct it, delete it, and more, and imposes obligations on organizations: lawful basis for processing, data minimization, security, breach notification, and accountability. Non-compliance can carry significant penalties, which is why it drives real architectural and process decisions rather than being a checkbox.
Where this shows up at Ceven
Ceven's structural controls align with GDPR principles: least-privilege scoped access, human oversight on consequential actions, and a full audit trail that supports the accountability the regulation demands. Because Ceven is not a system of record, the personal data itself stays governed by the customer's authoritative systems, while Ceven's actions on it remain recorded and reviewable.
