GDPR compliance

All the data to and from Avaya Breeze® platform nodes is encrypted using TLS in transit.

When deploying Avaya Breeze® platform you can choose to encrypt your virtual machine (VM) for General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliance using VMware provided encryption. The procedure requires a Key Management Server (KMS). Follow the vCenter virtual machine encryption instructions in your VMware documentation.

Encrypting your VM will reduce the capacity of your server. How much depends on the resources used by the installed snap-ins. Snap-ins that use the system storage, including the local cluster database, will notice a greater capacity decrease.

For additional information about GDPR compliance, see Avaya Breeze® platform Overview and Specification.
