Data Protection (GDPR)

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) contains requirements for handling personal data and thus has a significant impact on companies and public bodies. Breaches of the regulation can result in serious consequences for your company. These are not exclusively financial in nature; rather, processes that have previously been well established in your company can be prohibited. A domino effect can be triggered that impacts downstream processes and jeopardizes the entire process and organizational structure. So, create transparency as far as personal data are concerned and adjust how you handle these sensitive data with regard to the current requirements of the regulation.

The Data Protection Business Analytics is used to assess and analyse the maturity of your company. The data protection supervisory authorities can scrutinize your efforts at any time and audit the processes you have implemented. The current state of affairs is determined and analysed on the basis of your answers. Possible risks and gaps from best practice approaches are thus identified. The Data Protection Business Analytics consists of a general part – with questions relating to basic data on your company – and a data protection-specific part. The questions in the second part are assigned to the five dimensions: lawfulness, organization, technology, documentation, and process design.
