This document discusses the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and how the log analysis software Splunk can help organizations comply with GDPR requirements. The GDPR aims to strengthen data protection for all EU citizens and applies to any company processing personal data of EU residents. It introduces fines of up to 4% of annual global turnover for violations. Splunk allows organizations to detect, prevent and investigate data breaches, search and report on personal data processing activities to comply with GDPR provisions, and prove that appropriate technical and organizational security measures are in place.
