How does Mimecast benefit organizations with regards to GDPR compliance?

Mimecast assists organizations with GDPR compliance primarily by providing tools for data management and retention that align with the regulations' requirements. GDPR emphasizes the need for organizations to manage personal data responsibly, ensuring that data is properly collected, stored, and processed in accordance with defined legal frameworks.

Mimecast offers features that help organizations understand what data they hold, how long they retain it, and how to dispose of it when it's no longer needed. These capabilities support the GDPR principles of data minimization and purpose limitation, allowing organizations to demonstrate compliance with the regulation effectively.

In contrast to the other options, while having a dedicated GDPR compliance officer or conducting regular compliance training might enhance an organization's overall compliance culture, these actions do not directly provide the tools necessary for managing data in the way GDPR requires. Similarly, offering a guarantee against data breaches is not a feasible approach, as compliance relies more on proactive data management practices than on assurances of safety.
