Janrain®, the company that created the Customer Identity and Access Management (CIAM) category, today announced that the company is the first CIAM vendor to be General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) ready — ready to meet GDPR requirements in support of the May 25, 2018 compliance date. Janrain is ready as an Identity Cloud service provider to support its enterprise clients in meeting their customers’ GDPR rights. In support of this readiness, Janrain is now offering its clients a GDPR Primer and Readiness Assessment to ensure their management of customer data of European Union (EU) citizens complies with the new rules.

In Forrester’s October 2016 brief You Need an Action Plan for the GDPR, research analyst Enza Iannopollo writes, “The GDPR states that firms must consider privacy at the start of any new project and ensure that the right security controls are in place throughout all development phases. Sustained collaboration between teams will be critical, so firms will have to establish new processes to encourage, enforce and oversee it.”
