is running out: May 25, 2018 is fast approaching. It is still unclear what enforcement of the new regulation and the announced inspections will look like. Nevertheless, it is advisable to be prepared and to observe the most important principles. With globally increasing data traffic, data theft and misuse are unlikely to decrease in the future; therefore, it is generally welcome when legislators create greater awareness of the topic and greater responsibility for companies. By now, it is impossible to avoid media coverage of the GDPR. Even so, a surprisingly large number of companies are still not prepared, or not sufficiently prepared. Time and again, we hear questions like these:\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2>“Does this really apply to us—do we have to do anything?” The answer is clear: YES.\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>Today, all companies process personal data, which means everyone is affected—from sole proprietorships to large corporations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once that has been clarified, the next two questions are usually: \u003Cem>“What is this actually about?”\u003C\u002Fem> and \u003Cem>“What do I have to do?”\u003C\u002Fem> We would like to answer these here in the form of a brief overview:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2>@Question#1\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>The aim of the General Data Protection Regulation is to \u003Cstrong>adequately protect the security and privacy of natural persons\u003C\u002Fstrong> in an age of mass data processing and global data networks. The regulatory framework already entered into force in 2016. What is happening now is merely the transition period during which there were no systematic checks and no penalties for violations. From May 25 onwards, penalties may apply \u003Cem>of up to 4% of a company’s worldwide total turnover\u003C\u002Fem>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2>@Question#2\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>To answer this, it is best to take another look at the most important obligations the regulation imposes on us:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cul>\n\u003Cli>\u003Cstrong>\u003Cspan class=\"morebox\">1. § ART 5\u002F1B and 1C – DATA MINIMISATION:\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fstrong> \u003Cstrong>No more data\u003C\u002Fstrong> may be collected and processed than is absolutely necessary \u003Cem>to fulfil a purpose or assignment\u003C\u002Fem>. For example, if you offer free WiFi access for restaurant guests, there is no reason to ask for address data. If, however, you are interested in where your guests come from—which can certainly be a legitimate interest for a restaurant operator—you may ask them, but your guests must disclose this information consciously and voluntarily (see #3), and you may prefer to ask only for the postal code.\u003Cbr \u002F>\n\u003Ch2>How does the Privacy Toolkit help me with this?\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>Even without the kit, IACBOX helps you by offering \u003Cstrong>data-minimising login methods\u003C\u002Fstrong>, where a room number, a ticket ID, or other weakly personal parameters can be used for authentication.

You must record in a \u003Cstrong>data processing register\u003C\u002Fstrong> which categories of data are collected from which categories of persons and what happens to them. Is the processing carried out by you, or is it outsourced to service providers? Is the data transferred to a non-EU country? Is there comparable legal certainty there as in the EU? This is perhaps the most difficult topic, because even if you outsource an assignment or commission a cloud service, you still bear \u003Cstrong>responsibility for legal compliance\u003C\u002Fstrong> towards data subjects.\u003Cbr \u002F>\n\u003Ch2>How does the Privacy Toolkit help me with this?\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>With IACBOX’s new \u003Ca title=\"Privacy Toolkit\" target=\"_blank\">Privacy Toolkit\u003C\u002Fa>, you can create a dynamically generated data register. In doing so, \u003Cstrong>IACBOX checks\u003C\u002Fstrong> which login methods and which data fields are in use and generates an \u003Cstrong>individual register as a PDF\u003C\u002Fstrong>, including date and timestamp. You can print and file this register as often as you like: after every change, or only when needed—that is entirely up to you. If your IACBOX is connected via Login API to a PMS, CRM, a database, or another backend, you also have freely editable text modules available where you can specify what happens to the data as part of this integration—so that you can \u003Cstrong>fully and conveniently meet your documentation obligation\u003C\u002Fstrong>. It also includes a \u003Cem>data processing agreement\u003C\u002Fem> that you can present to any service provider you may commission to ensure that they, like you, safeguard data protection.\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>\u003Cstrong>5. § ART 5\u002F1F and 28 – CONFIDENTIALITY AND INTEGRITY:\u003C\u002Fstrong> You must \u003Cstrong>ensure the confidentiality of the data\u003C\u002Fstrong> and ensure that it is not altered. How are you supposed to do that—what if a malicious hacking attack occurs? Do not worry: the GDPR does not require you to be better than law enforcement itself and prevent it. However, you are required to implement \u003Cstrong>technical and organisational measures\u003C\u002Fstrong> to protect your customers’ data to an appropriate extent. The regulation does not specify exactly what this must look like. Common standards—such as a \u003Cstrong>TSL (formerly: SSL) certificate\u003C\u002Fstrong> for your data-collecting website, as well as \u003Cem>training and a confidentiality agreement\u003C\u002Fem> with employees who have access to this data—will certainly be expected.\u003Cbr \u002F>\n\u003Ch2>How do IACBOX and the Privacy Toolkit help me with this?\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>Since documentation is not only an obligation but also an essential prerequisite for meeting the accountability requirement, IACBOX and the \u003Ca title=\"Privacy Toolkit\" target=\"_blank\">Privacy Toolkit\u003C\u002Fa> do a great deal for you here. For one thing, IACBOX’s TSL certificate itself is continuously updated, so you are on the safe side. In addition, \u003Cem>all access by your admin users\u003C\u002Fem> to data is logged by IACBOX and is therefore \u003Cstrong>documented and traceable\u003C\u002Fstrong>. You can also use the Privacy Toolkit to display a confidentiality agreement to each admin user, which they must accept before starting their work. The training and agreement are included as a PDF for printing and signing, as is a data processing agreement, the full text of the GDPR for reference, as well as a template for reporting a data breach and a list of the competent data protection authorities.\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>\u003Cstrong>6. § ART 12, 13 and 15 – INFORMATION AND ACCESS:\u003C\u002Fstrong> You are obliged to \u003Cstrong>provide information at any time\u003C\u002Fstrong> to the data subject whose data you process.

With the \u003Ca title=\"Privacy Toolkit\" target=\"_blank\">Privacy Toolkit\u003C\u002Fa>, you also have the option of responding to a potential \u003Cstrong>access request\u003C\u002Fstrong> by sending the dynamically generated report.

If they request deletion, this is possible under the Privacy tab, with or without the \u003Ca title=\"Privacy Toolkit\" target=\"_blank\">Privacy Toolkit\u003C\u002Fa>. Please note, however, that data may not be processed only on the IACBOX if backends are integrated, and you should supplement the report accordingly.\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003C\u002Ful>\n\u003Cp>At IACBOX, we assume that in regular operation no data classified as sensitive by the GDPR in Art. 9(1) is processed—data relating to racial or ethnic origin, political or religious beliefs, trade union membership and worldview, genetic or biometric parameters, sexual orientation or sex life, or health. This is generally prohibited, except in the legitimate cases listed in Art. 9(2), which include, among other things, the protection of vital interests. In this case, a data protection impact assessment pursuant to Art. 35 is strongly required. However, in all other cases it also helps to understand the obligations that apply to every data processor, if only by raising awareness of the unpleasant consequences that negligent handling of data security can have—regardless of whether a WiFi hotspot is operated or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would you like to order your \u003Ca title=\"Privacy Toolkit\" target=\"_blank\">Privacy Toolkit\u003C\u002Fa> now?

Each hotel needs to operate autonomously without sacrificing centralized standards and shared management.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Managed service providers experience the exact same trend, only in an intensified form. Those managing ten customers know every configuration in detail and calculate their overhead per customer accordingly. When that same provider grows to fifty customers, it is not just the number of installations that increases, but also update cycles, support tickets, and escalation paths. The original calculation per customer no longer holds up: revenue grows linearly, while internal overhead scales faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is precisely at this point that margins begin to shrink for many providers, even as the business appears to grow from the outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The industries differ. The pattern remains the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2>Growth Changes the Operating Model\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>In response, many organizations invest in more powerful infrastructure, new features, or additional staff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far less often is it questioned whether the operating model itself still fits the organization’s scale. This is where the primary bottleneck typically emerges: when every new customer adds administrative overhead, it is not just the business that grows—complexity increases as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiring more staff may alleviate this bottleneck in the short term. In the long run, however, what scales most is administrative overhead, not the business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2>Why Multi-Tenant Is Moving Into Focus\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>As organizations expand, a fundamental question arises with increasing urgency: does every organization really need to operate its own management platform? Or is there a more efficient way to manage many segregated organizations centrally without compromising their autonomy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is precisely why Multi-Tenant is gaining importance—not as a new buzzword or short-lived trend, but as an answer to operational requirements driven by the growth of modern IT organizations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For managed service providers, internet service providers, hotel groups, educational institutions, and multi-site enterprises, Multi-Tenant is increasingly becoming a strategic decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, the crucial question is no longer whether Multi-Tenant makes sense. It is: at what scale does the traditional operating model cease to support growth and instead become the limiting factor?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2>IACBOX Multi-Tenant Is in Its Final Stages\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>It is precisely to address these requirements that we are currently developing IACBOX Multi-Tenant. It will allow multiple segregated customers, sites, or organizations to be managed centrally via a single platform—without sacrificing their autonomy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Development is already in its final stages.
