Booking A Device Scan: The Benefits

With GDPR regulations always developing, data security is a bigger issue than ever before. IT systems and operation are a massive component of compliance. A device compliance check can scan your device to ensure it is compliant with GDPR.

Here at IT-Works, we are a leading provider of technology solutions. We specialise in IT security and offer cloud based IT management and GDPR and cyber security.

The importance of a data compliance check

So why is device compliance important? A common form we are finding are bank details, like security codes and account numbers. This could be potentially disastrous in the wrong hands. Especiall if the data isn’t even your own and is your customers. This could leave to a GDPR fine that can reach up to 4% of annual turnover.

What does a device compliance check entail?

Our data compliance scan checks computers/laptops for unprotected data. It also checks the data’s value, possible breaches and the format of the data. We recommend doing a compliance scan on any laptop or computer you use for work; as it gives you the peace of mind and confidence that your IT is secure and complies with GDPR.

Here is an example of summary results:

You can see which areas you ‘pass’ compliance in; as well as the potential liability value of the data. It can also identify any potential breaches and their location, helping you avoid a data breach disaster.
