GDPR Infrastructure Setup
GDPR compliance is not just a legal checkbox — it requires specific infrastructure capabilities: data residency controls, right-to-deletion pipelines, encryption, access logging, and consent management. We implement the technical layer so your application handles personal data correctly.

We implement, you ship. Async, documented, done in days.
Data Residency and Sovereignty
GDPR requires that EU personal data stays within approved jurisdictions unless adequate safeguards exist. We configure infrastructure to enforce data residency: AWS regions restricted to eu-west-1 and eu-central-1 via SCPs, database replication only within approved regions, backup storage in EU-only S3 buckets, and CDN configurations that do not cache personal data outside the EU. SCP guardrails prevent accidental resource creation in non-compliant regions.
Right to Deletion Pipeline
Article 17 requires the ability to delete all personal data on request. We build automated deletion pipelines: a deletion API endpoint triggers cascading deletes across databases, search indices, caches, log systems, and backup systems. Soft-delete with a 30-day retention window handles accidental requests. Deletion receipts are generated as proof of compliance. For backups, we implement crypto-shredding — destroying the encryption key renders the backup data unreadable without physically deleting backup files.
Encryption and Pseudonymization
All personal data is encrypted at rest (AES-256 via KMS) and in transit (TLS 1.3). We implement field-level encryption for sensitive attributes (email, phone, address) so database access does not automatically expose PII. Pseudonymization replaces identifiers with tokens for analytics and development environments. Data masking ensures non-production environments never contain real personal data. Encryption key management uses per-tenant keys where feasible for efficient deletion.
Access Logging and Data Processing Records
GDPR Article 30 requires records of processing activities. We implement technical controls that generate these records automatically: application-level audit logs track who accessed what personal data and why, database query logging captures data access patterns, and API access logs record third-party data sharing. Data processing records are generated from infrastructure metadata — not maintained manually in spreadsheets that go stale immediately.
