Secure Camera Cloud Storage with Audit Logs | ftpGrid

Published {$created} by Carsten Blum

Let's be honest: Many camera cloud storage solutions are a gamble. You’re often trusting a third party with sensitive video data, hoping they have adequate security and retention policies. This is amplified when GDPR compliance is a must. Plain FTP is obsolete and insecure, FTPS has compatibility issues, and many off-the-shelf solutions lack the granular audit logging you need to demonstrate compliance.

The problem isn’t just about preventing breaches. It's about having verifiable proof that you’re protecting data, something increasingly critical for regulatory compliance and maintaining customer trust. Simply hoping your provider is secure isn't a strategy; it’s a liability.

This is where sftp hosting with comprehensive audit logs and GDPR-conscious practices like those offered at ftpGrid.com become vital.

Why Audit Logs and GDPR Matter

GDPR isn’t just a checkbox; it’s a framework for responsible data handling. Detailed audit logs are your lifeline for demonstrating compliance. They provide a record of who accessed data, when, and what actions were taken. Without them, responding to data subject requests or investigating potential breaches becomes significantly more difficult, if not impossible.

ftpGrid’s sftp hosting offers granular audit logging, tracking every upload, download, and deletion. This level of detail goes far beyond what many simple cloud storage services provide and is essential for organizations handling sensitive video data.
