GDPR: How small companies can get ready for it (and why you can’t just ignore it)

We’ve been working on getting ready for the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for the past few months, and have made significant progress in advance of when the law goes into effect on May 25, 2018. We had to make some interesting decisions and trade-offs along the way, especially since we’re a small company without legal counsel on staff. I wanted to share a few thoughts on what we learned along the way to becoming GDPR compliant, with the hope that it will help streamline the process for your business.

Postmark’s recent and upcoming maintenance

In the last two months we’ve had two big maintenance windows. During this time we had to queue messages and bring most services down. This caused significant delays (up to 30 minutes) for the important, time sensitive emails that you need to get to customers. Even though it was a planned maintenance, our goal is to perform zero downtime maintenance windows. I’d like to give some background on what happened and what we need to do next.
