Digital security as a foundation
For a construction company, compliance with the privacy regulations may not be your highest priority. Nevertheless, you typically collect large amounts of sensitive data about your employees. In addition, you may be required to have contracts in place for construction that may run over several years. It can be a challenge to keep track of all this sensitive data while running a construction business. Often, companies within Construction have neither the processes nor up-to-date IT systems to protect sensitive information as required by privacy regulations.
Here are your sensitive data
You often have sensitive information about your employees, partners and subcontractors. Having worked with a number of construction companies, we know that the sensitive data you have are typically:
- Contact information and photo IDs
- Trade union memberships
- Work experience and education history
- Salary and compensation
- Insurance and benefits info
- Criminal records
- Health and vaccine status
- Training, certificate and performance data
- Performance evaluations
- Contracts with customers and suppliers
You may not consider handling sensitive data an important part of your work, but statistically speaking, you have a lot of sensitive information. Even if you already have IT systems in place, we see that sensitive data often continues to find its way in outside of the secure systems. And perhaps your IT systems are not updated in relation to privacy regulations? The mistakes that are often made in your industry when processing sensitive data are that you have data stored unprotected in outdated systems, you get the sensitive data sent unencrypted via email, and you don’t make sure to get it deleted again.
