MapR Technologies and Talend are working closely on a solution to help customers address requirements for the European Union’s (EU) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) legislation. The combined offering from MapR and Talend enables companies to create a governed data lake capable of meeting even the most stringent data storage, inventory, protection, retention, portability, and security requirements mandated by GDPR.
 
Enforceable starting May 2018, GDPR applies to any organization worldwide that collects or processes personal data from EU residents. According to Gartner, by the end of 2018, over 50 percent  of companies affected by the GDPR will not be in full compliance with its requirements.*
 
“The path toward GDPR compliance does not have to be complicated, but organizations do need to act now,” said Ciaran Dynes, senior vice president of products, Talend.  “Working with MapR, we are helping customers deliver transparency through proper metadata management practices; establish a collaborative approach to data governance; and modernize their data platform to support data lake development  that will ensure full compliance with GDPR.”
 
Data lakes are used to centralize enterprise information, including personal data that originates from a variety of sources, such as banks, social media, medical care providers, and more. The combined solution from MapR and Talend enables companies to deploy governed data lakes that address compliance challenges related to:
 
?     Data classification and lineage
?     Data capture and integration
?     Data anonymization
?     Self-service data curation and certification
?     Data portability and accessibility
 
“Under GDPR, multi-national companies will need to demonstrate that personal data is being captured, shared, and managed in a controlled, lawful and fair manner,” said Anoop Dawar, vice president, product marketing, MapR Technologies. “The combined offering from MapR and Talend helps companies accelerate GDPR compliance efforts, and demonstrate that required data governance mechanisms are in place.
