In projects for companies in Cantù, Como and Milan we assess case by case where it is needed.
Encryption
What is encryption
Data encryption is a technique that makes information unreadable to anyone who does not have the key to decrypt it. On a website it is used in particular to protect data while it travels between browser and server, through an HTTPS connection, and to store passwords in an unreadable form.
Whether and to what extent it is needed in your project depends on the data processed and the risks: the assessment is up to your legal advisor or DPO. This page is for information only and is not legal advice.
Where it applies
Typical areas on a website
- HTTPS connection Domains, mail and servers
- User passwords
- Backups and sensitive data
Secure data deletion removes data that is no longer needed from databases, backups and connected services, not just from the list visible in the CMS. For company websites in Brianza and Milan the storage points are mapped first; the timeframes are defined by your legal advisor or DPO.
The technical security of a Lugano company's website data can be handled by the agency that develops and hosts it. NewVisibility, in Cantù (Como), works with companies in Ticino and Lombardy with managed servers and an in-house team, together with their legal advisor or DPO.
The GDPR requires security measures appropriate to the risk, proportionate to the data processed and the tools used. For a company website in Cantù or Brianza this means hosting, connection, access, updates and backups; what is appropriate in your case is assessed by your legal advisor or DPO.
The right to be forgotten is the possibility, in the cases provided by law, to request the erasure of your personal data. It is not absolute and may coexist with other retention obligations. For a company website in Como or Milan you need to know where the data is; every assessment is up to the advisor.
A privacy audit of a website starts by mapping data, forms, cookies and third-party tools, then compares them with the notice and consents. For companies between Como and Milan, NewVisibility prepares the technical picture from Cantù; the compliance assessment stays with the legal advisor or DPO.
