Six years after Schrems II, Transfer Impact Assessments remain the most operationally awkward part of GDPR for SMEs.
New guide covers what a TIA requires in 2026: the EDPB six-step methodology, current adequacy landscape, country-specific risk for the destinations SMEs actually use, and how to fit it onto your existing data map.

Following up on our ROPA tool guide from earlier this week — the question we kept getting was "where does the ROPA actually come from?"
The answer is the data map. A ROPA is the output; the data map is the input.
Our latest guide walks through the five steps of building a GDPR data map that stays current as your organisation evolves.

GDPR Article 30 requires a Record of Processing Activities. Most organisations maintain theirs in a spreadsheet — and most of those spreadsheets are out of date.
The cost shows up during audits, breach notifications, and DSAR responses.
Our latest guide covers:
• What Article 30 actually requires
• Why spreadsheets fail as a ROPA tool
• What to look for in a proper ROPA tool

One of my clients wants me to perform a quick scan of the services they use, where the service provider is located, and where their data is stored. Shocking to see how websites are made dependent on big tech. The alternatives are already there! You don't need analytics that feed on your customers. #googleanalytics #facebookpixel #matomo

Bij verduurzamen vraagt bijna iedereen wat het bespaart en wat het oplevert. Qua geld bedoelen ze dan. Maar heb je dan wel de juiste drijfveer? We willen toch een mooiere en gezondere wereld? Die druk je (nog) niet uit in geld. De wereld gaat stuk door het huidige systeem. Dan moet je verbetertrajecten niet per se willen toetsen aan datzelfde kapotte systeem. Wij helpen je je IT duurzamer, eenvoudiger en vriendelijker te maken. #locaverdi #duurzaam #it

Wij maken gebruik van een wachtwoordmanager. (Zou je ook moeten doen!) Hiervoor gebruikten we een open source systeem met een goede reputatie. Alleen wel servers in de USA. Daar hebben we verandering in gebracht. Simpeler is vaak beter en veiliger. Daarom gebruiken we nu KeePassXC. Dat past het best bij onze wijze van gebruik. #wachtwoordmanager #locaverdi #passwordmanager #keepassxc #keepass

Go Europe! Een nieuwe stap in het gebruik van meer Europese diensten. We hebben al onze LetsEncrypt SSL-certificaten (die gebruik je om veilig verbinding te maken met een website, https) vervangen door certificaten van Actalis. Dit werkt ook prima samen met certbot, en is ook gratis, maar dan wel Europees. #letsencrypt #europa #actalis #certbot #locaverdi

@superuserdo@punkstodon.de are certain that the usb cords provide data? Some can only provide power. And some external harddrives draw quite some power. Maybe to port cannot deliver the required power. Sometimes you can connect the external drive to 2 ports to provide extra power.

Een simpele manier om energie te besparen in ict-apparatuur? Geen power over ethernet gebruiken, en geen power adapters gebruiken. Hoe? Veel apparatuur kun je prima rechtstreeks vanaf 12VDC voeden. Bijvoorbeeld via een powerstation met een zonnepaneel eraan gekoppeld. Leuk project voor IT-enthousiastelingen die voor zuinig willen gaan. Wij gebruiken zo’n opstelling sinds vorig jaar, met goede resultaten. #frugalcomputing #solar

Do you have surveillance cameras? A network-attached surveillance camera can consume a sizeable amount of energy. It's not just the camera but also the NAS or NVR for storage, software for image analysis, and network equipment that's loaded continuously because of the recorded streams. Simple tip to reduce power consumption: just store the event recordings on an SD card in the camera unit. It has downsides, but it's very efficient. #energyefficient #nas #surveillance #frugalcomputing #locaverdi

En nu is ons initiatief https://www.moveyourdata.eu/index-nl.html ook in het Nederlands beschikbaar! Start vandaag nog om je data en diensten weg te halen bij bigtechbedrijven en verhuis deze naar open source, lokale en Europese alternatieven. Omdat je zelf de baas wilt zijn over jouw gegevens. #moveyourdata #locaverdi

CDNs vs. Simple Servers: What’s Right for You?

Running a website or app? Do you rely on a Content Delivery Network like Cloudflare, or do you serve clients mostly within your country/region? For many SMEs, a basic web server is all you need. No extra complexity, no downtime risks, just smooth, fast performance.

How many times have you seen a CDN fail?

Something new appeared in our Wazuh logs. Lots of attacks originating from IPs owned by Microsoft. Is anyone else noticing the same? #wazuh #cybersecurity #microsoft

Next application to replace: Apple Notes. We replaced this with Joplin. We are ditching all USA-based services due to the political situation. Do you join us? #notes #locaverdi #joplin

A new day gives a new opportunity to ditch another US company. Today we replaced Firefox Sync with Floccus. Why? Firefox is getting a strong AI focus. And that is not what we need in a browser. Also, Firefox Sync is a US based service and therefore no longer safe and sound to use. #floccus #firefox #locaverdi

Today we replaced our website contact form. We moved from Jotform to Survio. Moving away from US companies to EU companies. #survio #eu #locaverdi
