Get your Elasticsearch data GDPR-compliant
Whether you are using Elasticsearch for application search or as a centralized logging platform, there is a strong chance that you are dealing with data that is classified as personal data by GDPR guidelines, with strict requirements on how it's secured and processed.
Learn how you can use Elastic Stack features, from role-based access control to data encryption, to get your Elasticsearch data ready for GDPR.
Use the Elastic Stack to get GDPR-compliant
GDPR mandates that you "shall implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk." One well-accepted technical measure that organizations take is the centralized logging and analysis of all security-related information.
Many organizations are using the Elastic Stack as their central security analytics platform for real-time analysis of security information at scale.
