eXate enables ‘Privacy by Design’ in OpenFin OS

Desktop interoperability platform OpenFin has added eXate’s data privacy capabilities to its operating system to ensure compliance with the EU’s GDPR, which came into force a year ago and requires that new applications are designed with privacy considerations factored in from the outset, a so-called ‘privacy by design’ approach.  eXate restricts data only to authorised users based on customisable policies set by compliance and legal teams. Says eXate CEO Peter Lancos: “Application developers building on OpenFin now have a central ‘out of the box’ utility to manage end-to-end data privacy and protection, allowing them to focus their efforts on delivering business value instead of needing to become regulatory experts.”
