GDPR Compliance

BMC was the world's first enterprise IT management provider in 2015 to secure EU accreditation for its Data Privacy Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs) as both a controller and a processor of personal data—a demonstration of BMC's early vision and long-standing commitment to data protection. Our commitment is further deepened as the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) comes into effect.

Put customers first to turn compliance into opportunity

GDPR went into effect May 25, 2018, reshaping the way organizations approach data privacy and data protection. By putting your customers first and upgrading security and data management practices today you can achieve GDPR compliance and create competitive advantage.

Regardless of the location of the company or the company’s service providers, GDPR requires anyone processing, holding, or making decisions on the purpose and use of any personal data of EU citizens to:

Ensure the ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability, and resilience of processing systems and services.
Restore the availability and access to personal data in a timely manner in the event of a physical or technical incident.
Demonstrate processes for regularly testing, assessing, and evaluating the effectiveness of these measures for ensuring the security of the processing.
