DATAREALITY

When you talk about digitization or digital services like data driven marketing, Internet of Things (IoT) or personalization you always talk about personally identifiable information (PII) and privacy. What usually happens in digital projects is, that either regulatory requirements are assessed once and the project will be downsized or amended accordingly so that the original business goals and cases aren’t reachable anymore. Or the assessment is done at the end of the project and only privacy terms are implemented but you can’t be sure that the legal requirements are technically or organizationally implemented. In contrary, unintentionally they are not.In both cases the involved stakeholders are experts in their fields: marketing, technology, legal. And usually these fields are not connected at all although they should, because the data processing requires an overall understanding of the regulatory requirements concerning data protection. The privacy assessment is pretty unilateral with the result, that in either way your business case and digital product will fail sooner or later.As former in-house data protection officer and legal counsel I know exactly what the legal requirements are especially concerning privacy and data protection and how to implement them technologically. Additionally, I was in charge of business and strategy in a big data project in a large corporation.
