We’ve examined the privacy policies and security measures of the three major cloud providers in order to answer this question. But, particularly when it comes to sensitive company data, a nagging question remains – is the underlying data actually secure, or have these providers simply reassigned responsibility to ensure they’re protected from legal action? One thing is certain – cloud providers such as Google, Microsoft and Dropbox have taken privacy and security measures to ensure they can continue to offer their services in Europe by remaining GDPR compliant. Is your personal data now finally safe from hackers? Can data services from big players such as Microsoft and Google now be used without hesitation? Their updated data protection policies (which, let’s face it, nobody has really read) certainly give that impression, but is it true? Now that all the initial excitement around GDPR has died down, you might find yourself wondering whether the underlying issues have actually been solved. And all those providers were éarnestly assuring you of the same thing – that they were 100% fully GDPR-compliant.

Like most people, you were probably hit with a flood of GDPR-related emails just before the 25th of May, 2018 from pretty much every product or service you’d ever personally or professionally engaged with. Does GDPR compliance really mean your data is sufficiently protected?
