The European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a significant concern for companies worldwide, with penalties ranging from twenty million euros to four percent of global sales in the event of non-compliance. Graph database technology is being explored as a solution to overcome GDPR compliance challenges, particularly in addressing the complex data lineage problems posed by personal data. Unlike relational databases and most NoSQL technologies, graph databases are designed for connected-data applications like GDPR, enabling powerful data visualization tools that allow companies to model and track sensitive data through their systems. A native graph technology platform, such as Neo4j, is considered superior for GDPR compliance due to its ability to handle complex data relationships, providing clear answers about personal data and satisfying regulators and consumers who demand proof of compliance.
