To All

There is a similar topic in the Spanish Forums that I made a comment on ..

viewtopic.php?f=6&t=35051

As I understand the GDPR can be mitigated by using Data Encryption and or Drive encryption and is not necessarily a pre-requisite .. I have encrypted .dbf and Sql Server with ADO .. it is not difficult to do .. The point I am making is YES, do all these things but if your data is breached there is mitigation as far as a penalty if the data is encrypted.

To make database encryption work .. you just need to encrypt any personal information such as Names, Addresses, Credit cards, etc .. I use a Public Domain function mentioned in the thread below

For me as a developer, using Data encryption is just a case of last resort .. most if not all data breaches have been through the penetration of a Web Site ... All we are doing ( it seems ) is the CYA for the lackless Web developers and Network admins that haven't got a clue what they are doing.

Just my 2 cents worth

If you ask me, I would say that who invented and then developed the various protocols used on Internet never had a clue of what they are doing... :-(
