Protecting your Data on AWS
Article 32 of the GDPR requires that organizations must “…implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, including …the pseudonymisation and encryption of personal data[...]”. In addition, organizations must safeguard against the unauthorized disclosure of or access to personal data.”
