Searching, indexing and deleting personal data (PID)

According to national and international data protection laws, every person has the right to know what data is stored about him or her and – if necessary – to have it deleted or corrected. Also in Switzerland, the amendment of the data protection law will increase these requirements. As a consequence, the requirements for transparency and the ability of the responsible companies and organizations to provide information increase as well. However, is it really so easy for data-storing companies to find this data and make it accessible within a very short period of time? Anyone familiar with today’s heterogeneity of data collections understands the challenges to implement such requests (cf. the Article by Jürg Tschirren, SRF in obtaining ones personal data from Amazon, May 2022).

You need to manage this process when dealing with personal data:

The PID Cockpit supports you in these tasks. Contrary to traditional approaches, the cockpit allows direct access to data bases in scope and enables the connection of a wide variety of data sources. It offers the following benefits:

  • Creating transparency in the identification of a wide variety of data sources (structured and unstructured) containing personal data
  • Creation of legal certainty, regarding the storage of these personal data
  • massive time and cost savings through automated retrieval of documents and records containing sensitive information of these individuals
  • Timely response to requests for information and requests for deletion

Therefore, the offer aims primarily at the following interest and stakeholder groups:

  • Data protection officers, Governance & Compliance Specialists as well as HR departments in medium-sized and large companies
  • The IT contact persons of the above-mentioned departments
  • Client managers involved in the management of personal data (sales, customer service,..)

General benefits of the PID Cockpit

The PID Cockpit gets adapted to the respective customer needs and can be integrated into the most diverse IT infrastructures

  • Openness: all data sources that can be accessed via a programming interface / API can be searched for personal data, regardless of whether they are standard software or proprietary solutions of your own making,
  • Customizability: the system can be tailored to recognize company- and industry-specific text types and speech patterns containing sensitive personal data
  • Flexibility: data formats and systems according to customer needs
  • Hosting according to client needs: the system can be configured according to different security requirements and can be hosted „on premise“ as well as „in the cloud“
  • Consistency and reproducibility: Traceability and reproducibility of the processes are elementary to ensure the legally binding nature (quality of evidence). This can lead up to the delivery of electronic evidence (covering eDiscovery procedures).
  • Automation: By replacing time-consuming, monotonous manual processes with automated AI-based processes careless errors are eliminated and the identification and extraction of information is objectified. In this respect, the results of the PID Cockpit are robust, reproducible and consistent.
  • Multilingual: The system processes documents in the main European languages, i.e. English, French, German and Italian.

“The event was characterized by many questions and an interesting exchange of opinions. The time flew by and there was a lively discussion at the subsequent reception. At the end of the event, a raffle was held among the participants to win an Information Governance Guide. I can only recommend the krm event and am already looking forward to the next one.”
