GDPR Article 32Security of processing
Article 32 of the General Data Protection Regulation requires appropriate technical and organisational measures to keep personal data secure. Fortoxa is how you demonstrate them.
Article 32 is deliberately risk-based rather than prescriptive: pseudonymisation, confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience, plus regular testing of those measures. Fortoxa turns those obligations into monitored controls, incident timelines and exportable evidence artefacts.
How Fortoxa maps to it
Confidentiality
Access audits, MFA posture and data-exposure detection across your SaaS and cloud stack so only authorised identities reach personal data.
Integrity
Configuration drift, privileged-action logging and anomaly detection to catch unauthorised changes before they cascade.
Availability & resilience
Backup verification, service-health monitoring and recovery-capability checks so you can prove the systems processing personal data stay up.
Regular testing
Continuous vulnerability scanning, configuration testing and control-effectiveness checks — not an annual point-in-time exercise.
Breach-detection readiness
Detection and alerting designed for the 72-hour Article 33 notification window, with timeline evidence for your DPA or supervisory authority.
Records of processing activities
Exportable evidence of the technical measures in place — the artefact your DPO or legal team needs when a regulator asks.
Evidence mapping
The table below translates compliance obligations into product monitoring and exportable evidence artefacts.
| Control | Coverage | How Fortoxa monitors it | Evidence artifact |
|---|---|---|---|
| MFA and access control | Covered | Tracks MFA posture, dormant accounts, privilege changes and access anomalies across connected workspaces. | Access review export, MFA coverage report, privileged-action log |
| Encryption in transit | Covered | Checks externally visible TLS posture and records security-header and transport configuration evidence. | TLS configuration snapshot, security-header evidence, remediation history |
| Backup and recovery readiness | Partial | Records backup signals and recovery-readiness attestations where integrated systems expose them. | Recovery evidence, backup status record, continuity review notes |
| Incident detection and response | Covered | Converts security signals into incident timelines with severity, ownership, response status and outcomes. | Incident timeline PDF, response log, customer-impact summary |
| Regular testing of controls | Workflow support | Maintains recurring control checks, vulnerability findings and remediation evidence in one operational workflow. | Control test history, vulnerability report, remediation evidence pack |
