The General Data Protection Regulation came into force in May 2018 and brought in an assortment of new rules and regulations into how data is collected, stored and processed. One key change was the penalties for data breaches being increased significantly, with their disclosure becoming mandatory. This makes the need for secure infrastructure and detection of malicious attacks much more prevalent.

Netcraft provides vulnerability scanning and penetration testing services which give detailed reports of issues and actionable resolutions that will reduce the chance of a data breach. In addition, website and infrastructure owners can receive timely notifications of malicious code present on a webpage, such as a JavaScript skimmer.
