“Perimeter Security“ – All of our computers are stored in a secure location. Only two key holders exist.
“Network Security” – All of the IT is further secured using strong password protection, using a mixture of alphanumeric and symbols. We use DropBox as a cloud storage system for my documents and company files. DropBox IS GDPR compliant. Portable hard drives for use off-site and on location will not usually have personal information stored on them, and where they do they will have password protected encryption at the drive level.
