Challenge
It was unclear which applications contained personal data and how this data was processed across the organization, limiting transparency and increasing regulatory risk.
The challenge was to establish a structured approach to identify data scope, assess compliance gaps, and ensure alignment with GDPR obligations across business units.
Solution Approach
Applications were analyzed to assess the handling of personal data and define their relevance within the GDPR scope.
A structured framework was established to collect and evaluate data processing activities, supported by data processing questionnaires and clear governance mechanisms.
Data protection requirements, including data erasure and control definitions, were translated into actionable measures and aligned across business units.
In parallel, training concepts were defined to ensure sustainable data protection practices within the business-as-usual organization.
Result
A structured data governance foundation was established, integrating more than 70 applications into a centralized data repository and ensuring alignment with GDPR requirements.
Defined controls, implementation measures, and training concepts enabled consistent data protection practices across the organization.
