Secure GDPR Camera Cloud Storage | ftpGrid

Published {$created} by Viggo

Storing surveillance footage presents unique challenges. Beyond raw storage capacity, compliance with regulations like GDPR is paramount. It's not enough to simply have a place to store your video files; it’s critical that your provider demonstrably protects user data and adheres to legal requirements. ftpGrid understands this. Our architecture and operational procedures are designed for GDPR compliance, offering a robust, secure, and auditable solution for your camera cloud storage needs.

Data Residency and Control

GDPR mandates data residency – knowing where your data resides and having control over it. ftpGrid hosts its infrastructure within the EU, ensuring your camera footage remains within the region's legal jurisdiction. This eliminates the complexities of transferring data across borders and helps you maintain compliance. We also offer data isolation; each customer's data resides in separate containers, preventing unauthorized access. Check out https://ftpgrid.com/features/ for a detailed look at our data isolation and other security features. We never scan, share or resale your data.

Beyond Storage: Auditability and Transparency

Compliance isn't just about technical controls; it’s also about demonstrable processes. ftpGrid’s audit logging provides a complete transaction history, including IP addresses and geolocation data. This allows for thorough investigations in the event of a data breach or compliance audit. Our commitment extends to full transparency; we provide clear documentation about our security practices and are happy to answer any compliance-related questions.

Our free tier at https://ftpgrid.com/tutorials/ftpgrid-free-tier-launch/ gives you a risk-free opportunity to assess our capabilities.

Secure Transfer Protocols and Encryption

Using secure protocols like SFTP (FTP over SSH) is crucial for protecting data in transit. ftpGrid fully supports SFTP, and strongly recommends its use over older protocols like FTP or even FTPS. SFTP leverages SSH encryption, providing a secure channel for transferring your camera footage. For those unfamiliar, https://ftpgrid.com/tutorials/ftp-101-sftp-connection-lftp-winscp/ provides a primer on connecting using SFTP. We also utilize TLS 3.0 for connections and AES-256 encryption at rest, providing multiple layers of protection.
