GDPR — domain & certificate controls
Any organization offering goods or services to EU data subjects, or monitoring their behavior — regardless of where the organization is headquartered.
Authority: European Commission / national DPAs
What GDPR actually requires
GDPR Article 32 (Security of processing) requires appropriate technical and organizational measures including encryption. Article 5(1)(f) requires integrity and confidentiality. While GDPR is technology-neutral, the European Data Protection Board's guidance on encryption cites TLS as a baseline technical measure for data in transit.
Full name: GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation, EU 2016/679).
Controls that touch certificates and domains
These are the 3 controls most directly affected by TLS certificate and domain lifecycle. CertRadar produces evidence bundles mapped to each.
| Control | Title | How CertRadar helps |
|---|---|---|
Art. 32(1)(a) | Pseudonymisation and encryption of personal data | TLS encryption of data in transit is a named example of appropriate technical measures. |
Art. 32(1)(d) | Process for regularly testing, assessing, and evaluating the effectiveness of technical measures | Continuous certificate monitoring is part of testing encryption effectiveness. |
Art. 5(1)(f) | Integrity and confidentiality (security) | Unexpired, trusted TLS certificates are the standard mechanism ensuring confidentiality in transit. |
