GDPR Compliance is Not Easy, But CockroachDB Can Help

GDPR compliance is challenging for companies due to its focus on data privacy and protection. The guiding principle of GDPR is "privacy by design," which requires security best practices to be implemented from the ground up. CockroachDB, a distributed SQL database, can help with GDPR compliance by encrypting data in flight and at rest, as well as supporting data domiciling through its geo-partitioning feature. This allows companies to process and store data locally, reducing costs associated with cross-border data transfers and improving customer-perceived latencies.
