Challenge

A growing technology company with users in Europe had to account for increasing volumes of data in its privacy processes. Data mapping, consent management and the handling of data protection incidents caused considerable manual effort.

Solution

Finding and classifying data

Innowise developed a modular platform for data protection workflows. Natural language processing supports the discovery and classification of personal data. The solution integrates existing CRM systems.

Bringing the workflows together

The platform supports processes from data discovery through to handling data subject requests. Tools for data protection impact assessments are available in addition. The automation supports the responsible teams; it does not replace a professional or legal assessment.
