IT related terms clarified

Within Spotit, we offer a lot of IT-focused solutions. Find out exactly what all our IT- and security-related terms mean through this glossary.

GDPR or general data protection regulation

The GDPR legislation is a European law that has been in force since May 2018. GDPR stands for the General Data Protection Regulation. Within Spotit , we use a GDPR assessment to analyze the extent to which your company is legally compliant.

Verbeter uw cybersecurity met blue & red teaming
Red & Blue teaming

The blue team acts as the defenders, trying to improve customer security on a daily basis. Often the security operations center, or the organization’s own IT department, takes on this role. The blue team plays the protector and the red team plays the attacker. Thus, both teams test cybersecurity. 

Chief Information Security Officer or CISO

The CISO, also known as Chief Information Security Officer, is a certified professional who helps you properly manage your business processes related to information security.
