The combined offering from MapR and Talend enables companies to create a governed data lake capable of meeting even the most stringent data storage, inventory, protection, retention, portability and security requirements mandated by General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Enforceable from May 2018, GDPR applies to any organisation worldwide collecting or processing personal data from EU residents. According to Gartner, by the end of 2018, over 50% of companies affected by the GDPR will not be in full compliance with its requirements.1
Ciaran Dynes, Senior Vice President of Products at Talend, said: “The path toward GDPR compliance does not have to be complicated, but organisations do need to act now. Working with MapR, we are helping customers deliver transparency through proper metadata management practices; establish a collaborative approach to data governance and modernise their data platform to support data lake development that will ensure full compliance with GDPR.”
Data lakes are used to centralise enterprise information, including personal data that originates from a variety of sources, such as banks, social media, medical care providers and more.
The combined solution from MapR and Talend enables companies to deploy governed data lakes that address compliance challenges related to:
- data classification and lineage
- data capture and integration
- data anonymisation
- self-service data curation and certification
- data portability and accessibility
Anoop Dawar, Vice President of Product Marketing at MapR Technologies, said: “Under GDPR, multi-national companies will need to demonstrate that personal data is being captured, shared, and managed in a controlled, lawful and fair manner. The combined offering from MapR and Talend helps companies accelerate GDPR compliance efforts, and demonstrate that required data governance mechanisms are in place.“
