IAM TechGDPR
Article 32 requires “appropriate technical and organisational measures” to protect personal data — access control is one of the clearest ways to demonstrate it.
What does GDPR require of access control?
The UK/EU General Data Protection Regulation governs how personal data is collected, processed, and protected. Article 32 specifically requires organisations to implement measures appropriate to the risk — including the ability to ensure ongoing confidentiality and to restrict access to personal data on a need-to-know basis.
In practice, this means being able to answer a deceptively hard question at any moment: who currently has access to this personal data, why, and when was that last reviewed?
How IAM Tech helps
We design access models built on least-privilege and need-to-know principles, and build the audit trail that makes “who accessed what, when” a demonstrable fact rather than a theoretical policy.
- Least-privilege access models scoped to actual business need
- Access review and certification cycles with a documented trail
- Clearer access visibility to support data subject access requests (DSARs)
- Segregation-of-duties controls to prevent unauthorised data combination
