- Encrypt data in transit and at rest; restrict and log administrative access.
- Prepare a breach-notification procedure that meets the timelines that apply in Luxembourg.
- Review contracts and data-processing agreements for every third-party service.

For clients in Luxembourg we usually host on Frankfurt, Ireland or another EU region to stay within GDPR transfer rules. 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.
