MapR and Talend Collaborate to Deliver Governed GDPR Data Lake Solution

Singapore
– August 1, 2017 —  MapR Technologies, Inc., provider of the Converged Data Platform that fully
integrates analytics with operational processes in real time, and Talend (NASDAQ: TLND), a
global leader in cloud and big data integration
solutions, today announced they
are working closely on a solution to help customers address requirements for
the European Union’s (EU) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
legislation. The combined offering from
MapR and Talend enables companies to create a governed data lake capable of
meeting even the most stringent data storage, inventory, protection, retention,
portability, and security requirements mandated by GDPR.

Enforceable
starting May 2018, GDPR applies to any organization worldwide that collects or
processes personal data from EU residents. According to Gartner, by
the end of 2018, over 50 percent  of companies affected by the GDPR will
not be in full compliance with its requirements.*

“The path toward GDPR
compliance does not have to be complicated, but organizations do need to act
now,” said Ciaran Dynes, senior vice president of products, Talend.
“Working with MapR, we are helping customers deliver transparency through
proper metadata management practices; establish a collaborative approach to
data governance; and modernize their data platform to support data lake
development  that will ensure full compliance with GDPR.”

Data
lakes are used to centralize enterprise information, including personal data
that originates from a variety of sources, such as banks, social media, medical
care providers, and more. The
combined solution from MapR and Talend enables companies to deploy governed
data lakes that address compliance challenges related to:

●        Data classification and lineage

●        Data capture and integration

●        Data anonymization

●        Self-service data curation and certification

●        Data portability and accessibility

“Under GDPR, multi-national companies will
need to demonstrate that personal data is being captured, shared, and managed
in a controlled, lawful and fair manner,” said Anoop Dawar, vice president,
product marketing, MapR Technologies. “The
combined offering from MapR and Talend helps companies accelerate GDPR
compliance efforts, and demonstrate that required data governance mechanisms
are in place.“

The MapR Converged Data Platform brings
together analytics and operations with the industry’s only enterprise-grade
software solution that unifies big data and open source technologies with fast,
native access to global event streaming, real-time database capabilities, and
cloud scale storage. The platform provides several features to comply with GDPR
including MapR Volumes, which logically groups personal data and immediately
applies policies and permissions to this data; high-performance auditing to log
data access; and mirroring and replication to easily control the movement of
‘portable’ data.

Talend’s
data integration platform, Talend Data Fabric, is the industry’s first integration
platform to natively support MapR Streams, which helps customers continuously
synchronize event processing across databases as information is updated,
delivering accurate insight in real-time. Talend
also combines data quality, metadata management, data stewardship, data
lineage, and big data integration to collect, standardize, reconcile, certify,
protect, and propagate Personally identifiable information
(PII) data.
