In a world where data breaches and privacy violations make headlines almost daily, compliance isn’t optional - it’s mission-critical. For businesses operating in or serving the European market, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) sets a strict framework for how personal data is stored, processed, and protected. At Synapsecom, we go beyond checkboxes - we embed GDPR compliance into every layer of our infrastructure.

Here’s how our GDPR-first approach to hosting protects your business, your data, and your customers.

‍

🏢 1. Data Center Location: Full EU Jurisdiction

We operate from data centers located in Greece, ensuring that all hosted data remains within the European Union - a critical requirement for GDPR compliance.

‍

Why it matters:

• Your data never crosses borders into non-compliant jurisdictions
  
• Full protection under EU privacy laws and enforcement mechanisms
  
• Clear legal responsibility and data sovereignty
  
  

‍Our commitment:

All Synapsecom infrastructure is hosted in facilities governed by EU law, with transparent data handling practices and full legal clarity.

‍

🔐 2. Physical Security: Access-Controlled, ISO-Certified Facilities

GDPR requires that data be protected not just digitally, but physically. That’s why our data centers are built with multi-layered physical security systems.

‍

Security measures include:

• 24/7 on-site security personnel
  
• Biometric access controls and video surveillance
  
• Strict visitor logs and access zone limitations
  
  

‍Certifications:

We’re ISO 27001-certified, proving our information security management system (ISMS) meets international standards.

‍

💾 3. Data Handling Policies: Minimal, Transparent, Purpose-Driven

At Synapsecom, we follow the GDPR principles of data minimization, purpose limitation, and storage limitation. We only collect and store the data we absolutely need - and we never sell or repurpose it.

‍

Key practices:

• Transparent user agreements and clear consent protocols
  
• Time-bound data retention policies
  
• Encrypted backups and secure data erasure on request
  ‍

You stay in control:

As a Synapsecom client, you can access, export, or delete your data at any time in line with GDPR’s rights of data subjects.

‍

🔍 4. Privacy by Design: Built Into Our Systems

Compliance isn't something we add after the fact - it’s engineered into the systems we build and host.

‍

How we apply it:

• Default encryption at rest and in transit
  
• Secure server provisioning and hardened OS templates
  
• Strict access policies and detailed audit trails
  ‍

Whether you’re hosting a website, SaaS app, or custom cloud stack, our infrastructure prioritizes privacy at every layer.

‍

👥 5. DPO Support & Breach Response Procedures

Under GDPR, timely breach reporting and risk mitigation are essential. Synapsecom has clear incident response protocols and a dedicated Data Protection Officer (DPO) available to help our clients meet their obligations.

What this means for you:

• Immediate notification and impact assessment in the event of an incident
  
• Collaboration with your legal or compliance team during audits
  
• Expert guidance on data protection best practices
  

We’re not just your hosting provider—we’re your compliance partner.

Protect your data. Protect your customers. Protect your business.
