Manufactoring & Industry
For a company in the manufacturing industry, GDPR compliance is easy to overlook. However, you often have large amounts of sensitive data about your employees, whether they are full-time, part-time, or project-based. Managing this sensitive data while running a manufacturing business can be challenging. Companies in your industry often lack the necessary workflows and IT systems to protect sensitive information in accordance with GDPR.









Here are your sensitive data
In an industrial company like yours, sensitive information is typically stored about your employees, partners, and subcontractors. Based on our experience with various companies in the industry, we know that the sensitive data you typically have includes:
- Contact information and photo identification
- Union memberships
- Work experience and education history
- Salary and compensation details
- Insurance and benefit information
- Criminal records
- Health and vaccination information
- Training, certification, and performance data
- Contracts with customers and suppliers
Handling sensitive data is easy to overlook, but statistically, you store a lot of sensitive information. Even if you already have IT systems in place, we often see that sensitive data still enters through unsecured channels. Additionally, your IT systems may not be as updated in terms of GDPR compliance as they should be. In the industrial sector, common mistakes in handling sensitive data include storing data unprotected in outdated systems, receiving unencrypted data via email, and failing to delete data when no longer needed.
How we can help you
Our IT tool, DataMapper, uses artificial intelligence to find documents, emails, and images with sensitive content across your systems. This allows you to finally clean up data with sensitive information and comply with GDPR. The cleanup process becomes more accurate and much faster than if you were to do it manually.
