Query Monitoring and the GDPR

Query Monitoring and the GDPR

I’ve been reading the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and discussing the ramifications of the beginning of enforcement with lots of people. The implications of it all are fascinating. The real serious issues remain primarily a business problem, with business defined solutions. However, there are technology issues that we need to think about. For example, performance metrics are going to be impacted by the GDPR.

Private Data and Monitoring Queries

First and foremost, let me say something I’ve said before. The vast majority of the focus around GDPR has to come from your business. Second, the bulk of your work and focus must be on ensuring core functionality in support of the GDPR. Third, the attack vectors and leaks for GDPR are not going to primarily be around something like monitoring. However, this is yet another place where you could be collecting private information that, in theory (because the lawyers have yet to speak), could be a location you need to deal with when addressing the requirement of the GDPR and related regulations.
