A new press release states, “Talend, a global leader in cloud and big data integration solutions, today unveiled a new solution to help customers address requirements for the European Union’s (EU) GDPR legislation. The new offering enables companies to design and operationalize data controls across data pipelines using metadata management, data masking, data quality, data services, stewardship and governance. Available immediately via Talend’s network of VAR and ISV partners, Talend’s GDPR solution helps customers modernize their data platforms to deliver transparency and compliance using collaborative data governance.”

The release goes on, “Enforceable starting May 2018, GDPR applies to any organization worldwide that collects or processes personal data from EU residents. At that time, organizations will need to have a more precise view of their customer data—not just where it is stored, but also who has access to it, how it’s being utilized and by whom it can be modified. Companies will also need to address new rights for individuals—including employees, prospects and customers—in terms of providing options for how their personal data is managed, such as the right of accessibility, rectification, erasure, etc. Companies that fall short of meeting these guidelines face hefty fines and according to Gartner, by the end of 2018, over 50 percent of organizations affected by the GDPR will not be in full compliance with its requirements.”
