5. GDPR and Capacity Management
Protection of personal data
– Capacity and Performance data can contain what could be considered personal
data
– How is this data being moved? Captured, moved to a different system for
processing, stored in a CMIS (database)? Is it encrypted? Is it secure?
Availability (ongoing access of personal data)
– Preventing unauthorized access
– Stopping Denial of Service attacks
– Performance and capacity outages / slowdowns are a lack of availability
