Granicus has long been an industry leader when it comes to data protection. We are already signed up to the EU Privacy Shield agreement and hold current ISO 270001 certification plus FedRAMP status in the US. Our data protection credentials are second to none and that is why we have been keen to stay at the forefront when it comes to the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) changes that will come into force on 25 May 2018.
