NIS2 & GDPR Compliance: Why a Self-Hosted Remote Desktop Relay Matters in 2026
With the enforcement of the European Union's NIS2 Directive (Directive (EU) 2022/2555) and DORA across energy, healthcare, manufacturing, MSPs, and digital infrastructure, remote desktop software has moved to the very top of every external auditor's checklist.
The Supply-Chain Problem with Cloud-Only Remote Tools
| Metric | SimpleViewer 2.3 | AnyDesk 8.x | TeamViewer 15.x |
|---|---|---|---|
| Median Relay Frame Latency | 11.4 ms (60 FPS) | 16.8 ms | 23.5 ms |
| Cold-Start Connection Time | 1.2 s | 2.1 s | 3.8 s |
| Idle Background RAM | 24 MB | 68 MB | 145 MB |
| Free Unattended PCs | 3 PCs (No Timeouts) | Flagged / Restricted | 60-sec Commercial Block |
Three Pillars of SimpleViewer Security & NIS2 Compliance
1) End-to-End AES-256-GCM encryption ensures screen frames, keystrokes, clipboard sync, and file transfers are encrypted before leaving the host. 2) Salted SHA-256 challenge-response authentication prevents password replay. 3) Immutable forensic session audit logs record every connection attempt, source IP, device ID, and byte count.
Optional Dedicated Self-Hosted Relay for Business Subscribers
By default, SimpleViewer works out of the box over our zero-knowledge EU relay mesh. For regulated enterprises requiring 100% on-premise data sovereignty, our engineering team provisions a dedicated self-hosted signaling and binary TCP relay instance inside your own VPC or data center.
