Why GDPR is so important?

GDPR

Okay, let's talk about GDPR. If your firm deals with personal data from EU nationals, you have to follow the GDPR. It's not just a buzzword. But don't worry about those huge fines and all the legalese just yet. ToolHive is available to help you follow the GDPR rules easily. Yes, you heard me right. This cool SaaS solution will help you keep track of all your software, tools, and vendors while making sure you follow GDPR rules.

Why it is important to follow the GDPR

What is GDPR, first of all? The General Data Protection Regulation went into effect in May 2018. It's all about letting people own their own data and making businesses responsible for keeping that data safe. If you mess up, you might be fined up to €20 million or 4% of your global sales. Ouch! But not following the rules can hurt your reputation even more than the money. Data protection is not just a legal need in today's society, but it is also a matter of trust.

How ToolHive makes it easier to follow the GDPR

Now, let's talk about how ToolHive comes to the rescue. This platform's goal is to make following the GDPR rules easier and more fun. Here's how:

Visualizing the flow of data

Think about how hard it would be to keep track of how data moves throughout your business without a map. A nightmare, right? That map is what ToolHive gives you. It shows you exactly how data moves between the tools in your company. This isn't only cool to look at; it's also very important for finding weak spots where data could be lost. You can make your data more secure and make sure you follow the GDPR at every stage with this clear picture.

Making reports

The paperwork is one of the hardest parts of following GDPR rules. It can seem like an endless job to make detailed reports for audits and submissions to the government. But ToolHive has a feature that makes reports automatically. It puts all the information you need into clean reports that are ready for an audit. No more running around looking for information or fretting about missing details. You can count on ToolHive.

Collaboration between departments

It takes more than one individual to follow the GDPR. It takes people from different departments to work together. ToolHive makes it easy and quick to work together. This is how:

  • Legal Department keeps track of tools and the legal documentation that go with them to make sure you're protected on all legal fronts.
  • Billing Department: Checks on how often you use tools and when you need to pay for them, so you don't have to pay for tools you don't use anymore.
  • Security Team: Gives your security team a full picture of data, security options, and user access, which helps them manage and reduce risks more effectively.

More benefits of ToolHive

ToolHive is more than just following the GDPR. It has a number of features that make it much easier to handle all of your tools.

Better onboarding and finding things

New employees typically have trouble finding the correct tools, and it might take a long time to acquire clearance for new ones. ToolHive makes this easier by having advanced search features and a central place to store all tool information. Requests for new tools and approvals are handled quickly, which speeds up the onboarding process.

Full data management

ToolHive sorts multiple kinds of data (such personal, billing, employee, and website data) and connects them to provide you a clear picture of how data is handled. This helps you keep your data structured and up to date, and it also helps you follow the GDPR.
