EU GDPR: compliance checklist for telecom & IoT software
Before launch in Poland, we work through this checklist with your team and advisers:
- Map every personal-data field to a lawful purpose under EU GDPR.
- Decide where data is hosted and whether data about Poland customers must stay in-region.
- Implement consent records plus data-subject access and deletion workflows.
- Encrypt data in transit and at rest; restrict and log administrative access.
- Prepare a breach-notification procedure that meets the timelines that apply in Poland.
- Review contracts and data-processing agreements for every third-party service.
Hosting and data residency for telecom & IoT software in Poland
For clients in Poland we usually host on Azure Poland Central, Google Cloud Warsaw. The choice balances latency for local users, EU GDPR requirements on where personal data may be stored or transferred, and any sector rules your regulator sets. Backups and disaster-recovery copies follow the same residency decision.
Localising telecom & IoT software for Poland
Business in Poland is mainly conducted in Polish. We build interfaces, notifications and documents ready for those languages, format dates, numbers and PLN amounts the local way, and plan releases around the CET working day.
