GDPR Compliance Software
Easy-to-use GDPR compliance software analyzes access, automates user provisioning, and helps support demonstrating compliance
Analyze access to sensitive data
Knowing which users have access to what types of data is an important part of demonstrating GDPR compliance. Before relying on an outside agency to perform a costly GDPR compliance risk assessment, try SolarWinds® Access Rights Manager (ARM).
ARM is built to identify and alert on accounts with insecure configurations, giving visibility into each account’s level of access across your organization. With this level of detail, you can pinpoint and mitigate insider risks and help demonstrate compliance with GDPR privacy requirements.
Automate AD account management
Securing accounts in Active Directory (AD) is a good first step in demonstrating compliance with GDPR data security. Unfortunately, it may not be easy to validate and manage Active Directory accounts to ensure they are all properly provisioned and deprovisioned.
As an easy-to-use GDPR compliance aid, SolarWinds ARM is designed to help securely automate user account provisioning and deprovisioning. Our role-specific templates are also designed to enforce safe account configurations while streamlining account creation. In response to insider threats, the GDPR compliance software in ARM is built to automatically and quickly deprovision accounts.
Help support audits with detailed reporting
The GDPR data privacy requirements highlight the need for greater visibility into which users can access personal and sensitive data. With Access Rights Manager GDPR-readiness software, you’ll have a rich audit trail of user activity and access of enterprise assets for Microsoft Exchange, SharePoint permissions, and more. Generate on-demand reports that capture this activity and send them directly to auditors and other shareholders. This level of visibility can help show which GDPR security controls are working and which may need improvement. Unlike some GDPR tools, ARM is designed to simplify data privacy and security processes.

Do you find yourself asking…
GDPR refers to the EU General Data Protection Regulation that came into effect in May 2018. Under GDPR regulations, citizens in the EU are guaranteed protections regarding their data and privacy. GDPR pertains to how businesses handle an individual’s data and the security systems and protocols used by businesses. Any company that markets goods or services to EU residents, regardless of whether the company is physically located in the EU, must comply with GDPR requirements or potentially face penalties for violations.
For businesses and individuals operating in the EU, GDPR compliance covers three main elements:
- The collection of personal data such as name, email, and IP addresses
- The operations or set of operations performed on personal data
- How the business is minimizing and protecting the use of personal data
Various obligations are imposed upon a business to comply with GDPR. Organizations, or data controllers, can also be liable for the work of third-party users and must review the data practices of their vendors and contractors.
GDPR also requires certain companies to assign a data protection officer (DPO) responsible for overseeing data security and implementing GDPR compliance.
Best practices for demonstrating GDPR compliance will involve more than just updating websites and software. For most organizations, cultivating more transparent data practices will involve changing the mindsets of key personnel in HR, IT, marketing, and security—everyone who interacts with consumer data. GDPR compliance will likely involve building new mechanisms and conducting an internal review of products, services, tools, providers, and relations with external collaborators.
