Nexcess Introduces GDPR-Compliant Hosting
SOUTHFIELD, Mich. (PRWEB) June 04, 2018 -- Nexcess, a leading provider of performance-optimized Magento, WooCommerce, and WordPress hosting, is fully compliant with the requirements of the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as of May 25, 2018.
The GDPR is a new data privacy regulation that covers the personal data of individuals in the EU. It introduces strict data privacy standards and gives data subjects the right to access, delete, and correct identifying personal information held by businesses.
Nexcess provides hosting to site owners and eCommerce retailers with users and customers throughout the EU, including hosting services based in EU data centers. Nexcess fully complies with the requirements of the GDPR in its roles as a controller of personally identifiable data and as a processor of personally identifiable data collected by its clients.
The GDPR makes hosting clients responsible for ensuring that hosting providers who store and process their users' personal data are compliant. Nexcess’ new terms of service and its commitment to data privacy make the company a safe choice for hosting data that falls under the GDPR.
“The GDPR introduces a strong set of privacy protections with multi-million dollar penalties for non-compliance. Businesses that choose non-compliant hosting platforms expose themselves to unnecessary risk,“ commented Chris Wells, President and CEO of Nexcess, “Many of our clients do business in the EU, and we’re happy to be able to do our part to help them comply with the GDPR.”
All Nexcess data centers implement operational and technical security measures to ensure the safety of client data, including external SSAE 16 auditing, regular security testing, proactive OS security management, PCI DSS compliance, full audit trails, firewalls and web application firewalls.
Nexcess' new GDPR-compliant terms of service apply to its data centers in the US, Europe and Australia, and to the full range of Nexcess managed eCommerce and CMS hosting services, including shared hosting, dedicated server hosting, and the brand new Nexcess Cloud, which brings auto-scaling, instant upgrades and downgrades, PCI compliance, and powerful development tools to Magento, WooCommerce, and WordPress. Nexcess’ Master Services Agreement is available on their policies webpage.
