Agenda
• How your hosting provider can help you to meet
your compliance requirements
• How Storm can help to protect your business
How your hosting provider can help you to
meet your compliance requirements
Data Controllers (you) need to carry out due diligence
to show they’re using GDPR compliant Data Processors.
• Your Hosting provider (who is a Data Processor for you) can usually help you satisfy this criteria by
providing you with a detailed “GDPR statement”.
• A GDPR Statement specifies exactly how that company handles data they receive from you and will be
in line with GDPR policy.
• Other examples of Data Processors you may use and will need to check:
- Card payment providers
- Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems
- Mailing systems (MailChimp etc.)
- Data Backup providers
- In short, anyone who stores or receives personal data on individuals from you
How your hosting provider can help you to
meet your compliance requirements
• Storm will be fully GDPR compliant from February
2018
• Our GDPR Statement will be available from 05/02/18
Using Storm means you are able to demonstrate that you
are using a GDPR compliant provider.
How Storm can help to protect your business
The other risk…
A Data Breach
The problem this causes
• Lot of hassle & productive time lost needing to inform customers, the
Information Commissioner and ensuring GDPR procedures are followed
correctly.
• Reputational damage to business due to your client data being breached.
• Loss of trust from your clients.
• Fines from Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) if procedures not
followed correctly.
• Risk from other legal liabilities such as being sued.
• Large fines if unable to demonstrate expected precautions were taken to
ensure the risk of this happening was minimal.
Some examples of data breaches that have
occurred recently…
• TalkTalk
Damage: Personal details of more than 156,959 individuals accessed
Penalty: £400,000 fine issued
Attack method: Exploited out-of-date database (gained from acquisition of Tiscali) via vulnerable web
page
• Nottinghamshire County Council
Damage: Personal details of over 3000 individuals posted online
Penalty: £70,000 fine issued
Attack method: Poor web site security
• Carphone Warehouse
Damage: Details of more than 3m individuals accessed. 18,000 of which contained payment card info
Penalty: £400,000 fine issued
Attack method: Exploited out-of-date WordPress plug-in
• Berkshire-based small business, Boomerang Video Ltd
Damage: Personal details of over 26,331 customer details accessed
Penalty: £60,000 fine issued
Attack method: SQL Injection attack via web site
• Many more examples can be viewed on the Information Commission’s office web
site https://ico.org.uk under their News section
The ICO’s view…
“Regardless of your size, if you are a business that handles
personal information then data protection laws apply to you.
If a company is subject to a cyber attack and we find they
haven’t taken steps to protect people’s personal information in
line with the law, they could face a fine from the ICO. And
under the new General Data Protection Legislation (GDPR)
coming into force next year, those fines could be a lot higher.”
Sally Anne Poole, ICO enforcement manager
27 June 2017
So what are the steps expected to
“protect people’s personal information in
line with the law”?
If you suffer a data breach and are investigated by the ICO your data security
is likely to be benchmarked against the 10 Steps to Cyber Security as
published by GCHQ’s National Cyber Security Centre
Storm offer services to cover ALL points related to
satisfy compliance of server security.
This focuses on the following 10 key areas:
• Risk Management • Incident Management
• Secure Configuration • Malware Prevention
• Network Security • Monitoring
• Managing User Privileges • Removable Media Controls
• User Education & Awareness • Home and Mobile Working
Meaning…
In the event of a data breach subsequently investigated
by the ICO, you can demonstrate that you had done
everything possible to secure your server and systems
to the highest level possible.
Which means…
• Significantly less chance of incurring fines from the Information
Commissioner's Office (ICO)
• Lower risk of reputational damage to business as security was as
strong as was currently possible
• No embarrassing stories published demonstrating company’s weak
security policies
• Significantly lower risk from other legal liabilities such as being sued
But more importantly…
It means that your chance of ever
suffering a data breach in the first place
is as low as possible
We’d rather be proactive than
reactive 
So how do we help you achieve this?
• Over 14 years experience and know-how securing commercial enterprise level servers & systems
• We have strategic partnerships in place with a number of the best cyber security firms in the world.
- Including Security Metrics, Cloudflare and shortly, Sucuri.
• A range of services to effectively protect against malware, ransomware and viruses.
• Firewall services to protect your web site from code injection style attacks such as SQL Injection and Cross-
Site Scripting.
• Managed PCI (Payment Card Industry) vulnerability scanning and certification services.

• Disaster Recover - Managed backup services ensuring your data can be restored in the event of a data
corruption.
• A flexible range of Managed Hosting support levels.

So how do we help you achieve this?

- Any areas we see as vulnerable or needing attention will be highlighted in real
time.

devices.
