RELIANOID Load Balancer is a robust, secure application services solution that provides traffic management, availability, and security functionalities for enterprises and cloud environments. With global laws concerning data privacy becoming increasingly strict, infrastructure providers must take proper preparations to become GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) compliant. This blog describes how RELIANOID helps businesses to comply with GDPR by building privacy and security best practices into their infrastructure.
Understanding GDPR and Its Impact on Infrastructure Providers
The GDPR is a far-reaching data privacy regulation, established by the European Union in order to safeguard the personal data of its citizens. Failure to comply can result in significant monetary fines and damage to reputation.
Those infrastructure suppliers who handle, store, or transmit personal data are required to:
- Implement strong data protection measures.
- Keep extensive records of any data processing activities.
- Make sure that cross-border transfer of data is GDPR-compliant.

Supporting GDPR Data Subject Rights
Its design enables the system to fulfill GDPR requirements, such as:
- Allowing for data portability with secure and audit trail flows.
- Support of delete or anonymization of personal data requests.
- Preserving the value of identity and personal data as it is processed.
Continuous Compliance and Risk Management
RELIANOID promotes the practice of regular risk analysis via vulnerability scanning and patch management. Frequent updates keep you current with the latest interpretations of the GDPR and best security practices.
Use Case: GDPR Readiness for a Managed Hosting Provider
A European-owned and operated managed hosting provider leverages RELIANOID for load balancing and proxy services to more than 500 SMB clients. Many of these clients are full of personal data in CRM tools, appointment scheduling systems, or health platforms.
With RELIANOID, the provider can:
- Make sure TLS is required between clients and backend servers.
- Prevent ‘leaking’ of sensitive headers
- Generate anonymized traffic reports
- Prove to their clients (the controllers) that data transmission is secure and minimized
- Deploy DDoS protection without analyzing or saving personal data
Once RELIANOID is in place, the provider can provide a selling point, “GDPR-compliant hosting”, helped by the controls we build into our software.
Internal Culture: Privacy by Design
RELIANOID is made in Europe, where a team still cares about data protection and privacy. We are proud to say that our practises reflect the privacy-first engineering culture we have built:
- No unnecessary telemetry
- Little or no reliance on third-party APIs or cloud services
- Open and unobfuscated documentation revealing what the software does & does not do
- It has no “phone home” behavior and will not automatically install or update without prior user consent.
- Best practices for secure code in all commits and CI/CD phases
We are firm believers in privacy by design, not as an afterthought. And it’s not just about compliance, it’s about honoring the trust our users place in us
