GDPR endpoint controls

GDPR emphasizes privacy by design and by default. Codeproof provides endpoint controls that help minimize personal data exposure, separate work and personal data on BYOD, and support audit and data subject requests across iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS.

What GDPR expects on endpoints

Data minimization: Limit personal data processed on devices. Prefer managed containers for work data.

Security of processing: Apply encryption, access control, and configuration baselines to reduce risk.

Accountability: Keep records of device posture, policies applied, and administrative actions.

Data subject rights: Support access and erasure requests with selective wipe and account removal.

How Codeproof helps you align with GDPR

  • BYOD separation: Android Work Profile and Apple User Enrollment keep work data isolated from personal data with selective wipe.
  • App governance: Approve required apps, block risky apps, and limit data sharing with managed app configurations and Open In controls.
  • Secure access: Deploy email, Wi-Fi, certificates, and per app VPN to protect data in transit.
  • Compliance posture: Monitor encryption, passcodes, jailbreak or root status, and block access for noncompliant endpoints.
  • Audit readiness: Maintain device and user inventory, configuration history, and exportable activity logs and reports.

GDPR FAQs

What is GDPR?
GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) is the EU law governing how organizations collect, use, and protect personal data, with requirements around lawfulness, transparency, data minimization, security, and data subject rights.
How does BYOD comply with GDPR?
Use Work Profile (Android) or User Enrollment/Managed Open In (Apple) so personal and work data remain separate. IT manages only the work container and can apply a selective wipe when needed.
Can we restrict data sharing between apps?
Yes. Managed app configurations and Open In restrictions can limit where users send or open work data, reducing exposure risks.
How do we support right-to-erasure requests (DSRs)?
Admins can remove accounts and selectively wipe the work container, managed email, certificates, and managed apps. These actions are logged for audit evidence.
Does MDM alone make us GDPR compliant?
No. MDM enforces device-level measures such as encryption, access control, and app restrictions that support your broader GDPR compliance program.
