Prove compliance with technical logs and automated evidence — without collecting personal data. Built for distributed SMEs.
GDPR is often seen as legal and paperwork-heavy. But for many SMEs, the real burden is evidence and audit readiness — not just writing policies.
In edge environments (server closets, retail backrooms, factory racks), you can't always rely on big IT teams or central systems.
This page shows how to automate GDPR compliance in a way suited to distributed, small-scale infrastructure — with zero PHI/PII collection.
Export immutable audit logs and DPIA registers as PDF/CSV for auditors.
We only collect operational metrics; personal data stays out of the pipeline.
EU data residency and vendor-agnostic design by default.
Before tools, you need a mindset. Here are key principles for edge environments:
These align with GDPR's Articles 5, 24, 25, and 32, among others.
While some GDPR requirements are legal/policy-focused, many controls are quite automatable — especially in IT/edge settings:
Log access events (who accessed which system or dataset, when) — record timestamp, user-role, source.
Audit logging of changes (configuration, settings) — who made a change, when, what changed.
Logging who accessed your logs — complete audit trail of log access itself.
Alerting / anomalies — flag sudden patterns or unusual behavior automatically.
Hash chaining, append-only logs to prevent tampering and ensure authenticity.
Log aggregation & retention rules — rollups, archival, pruning based on policy.
Here's a practical checklist you can use or adapt for your organization:
Get started with our ready-to-use templates:
Verity Edge is engineered with these principles in mind:
Only technical metadata, no personal identifiers or content.
Append-only logs with cryptographic integrity verification.
JWT-based authentication ensures only authorized views.
Exportable PDF/CSV reports with complete audit trails.
Built-in retention and pruning policies for compliance.
Internal dashboards that map to compliance controls.
Free pilot available — see how this works with your systems.
No — metadata (e.g. "user with role X performed action Y on system Z") is not inherently personal data if no PII is included. The key is to avoid capturing names, emails, or device identifiers unless strictly necessary and justified.
Often, yes. But if your systems use pseudonymized identifiers, you can map responses at the minimal level needed and avoid storing full identities in logs.
Only as long as needed for compliance, forensics, or business operations. You must document retention policies and implement automatic purging. Auditors expect justification.
Preferably, you don't. Logs should be append-only. If legal obligations require erasure, you may maintain an audit record that an entry was redacted or masked — but the original tamper-proof record should remain.
Use the checklist above and map your current system to it.
Deploy Verity Edge in one edge site to evaluate logs, reports, integrity, and export.
Map your policies (privacy notices, DPIAs) to the logs you generate.
Simulate an audit — show the chain: incident → log → report → export.
Add more sites once the pilot succeeds.
Establish ongoing monitoring and regular compliance reviews.
