How SyncDog Supports GDPR Compliance for Mobile Device Security

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) sets a high standard for how personal data is protected across the EU, and any organization processing EU citizens’ data must comply. For mobile workforces, this is no small challenge.

SyncDog, a leading Independent Software Vendor (ISV) in mobile security and data loss prevention, offers a GDPR-aligned solution through its Trusted Mobile Workspace (TMW) platform. Below is a breakdown of how SyncDog supports organizations in aligning with key GDPR articles and principles.
  1. Data Protection & Encryption

Relevant GDPR Article: Art. 32 – Security of processing

SyncDog ensures personal data is protected at all times through:

    • FIPS 140-2 Certified AES 256-bit Encryption for data at rest and in transit
    • Secure Containerization that isolates personal from corporate data, even in BYOD setups
    • Defense Against Compromise: Safeguards like screenshot detection, copy-paste restrictions, and certificate pinning prevent data leakage from compromised devices or networks
  1. Support for Data Breach Reporting

 Relevant GDPR Article: Art. 33 – Notification of a personal data breach

SyncDog enhances breach response with:

    • Integrated Alerting System connected to service desks for immediate incident triage
    • Real-Time Monitoring for mobile ecosystems to quickly detect unauthorized access or data exposure
  1. Right to Erasure (“Right to be Forgotten”)

Relevant GDPR Article: Art. 17 – Right to erasure

SyncDog enables:

    • Remote Wipe of Corporate Data without affecting personal data — ideal for BYOD use cases
    • Granular Control that allows organizations to delete specific data sets as required
  1. Zero Trust Security Framework

 Relevant GDPR Articles: Art. 25 – Data protection by design & Art. 5(2) – Accountability

SyncDog’s Zero Trust model includes:

    • Verification Before Trust: No inherent trust for any device or network
    • Granular Policy Management: Control who accesses what, how, and when
    • Audit Logging: Ensures data interactions are fully traceable
  1. BYOD and Endpoint Management

 Relevant GDPR Focus: Balance between security and user privacy

SyncDog stands out by:

    • Securing Corporate Data Only — no full-device control or invasive MDM profiles
    • Support for Managed & Unmanaged Devices: Ensuring GDPR-compliant security across a diverse fleet
  1. Support for Multi-Regulatory Compliance

Beyond GDPR, SyncDog also supports:

    • HIPAA
    • CCPA
    • FISMA
    • CMMC

This holistic coverage helps streamline compliance across global standards.

  1. Education and Compliance Resources

To support organizations:

    • Whitepaper – “GDPR Will Bring the Teeth That Have Been Missing…” outlines 5 practical steps toward compliance
    • Real-Time Visibility – Tools and guidance for managing mobile security risks
    • Compliance Guidance – Includes penalties for non-compliance and how to avoid them

  1. Flexible Deployment Options

Relevant GDPR Article: Art. 24 – Responsibility of the controller

Choose from:

    • Cloud via Secure.Systems
    • On-Premise Deployments

This flexibility helps tailor the technical setup to your organizational and compliance needs.

  1. EMM Integration & AppConfig Compatibility

SyncDog is EMM-agnostic, integrating with:

    • VMware AirWatch
    • IBM MaaS360
    • AppConfig Community tools

This means you can easily layer SyncDog into existing infrastructure without an overhaul.

Limitations & Additional Considerations

While SyncDog provides powerful tools, full GDPR compliance requires:

    • Data Protection Impact Assessments (Art. 35)
    • Records of Processing Activities (Art. 30)
    • Lawful Basis for Processing (Art. 6)

These may require complementary solutions or policy frameworks beyond the SyncDog platform.

Summary: Why SyncDog is a Smart GDPR Companion

SyncDog empowers organizations to:

    • Protect mobile data
    • Enforce Zero Trust principles
    • Control access without invading privacy
    • Respond rapidly to potential breaches
    • Wipe sensitive data selectively

All while aligning with GDPR’s strict standards for accountability, integrity, and user rights.
