OMNIPRIVACY
360-Degree Management for GDPR Compliance

The year 2018 was all about GDPR compliance, bringing to focus the ramifications of glaring misuses of personal information and a continued stream of personal data breaches. A year later, a lot has changed in how enterprises view and manage personal information. Sure enough, the wave to harmonise and rethink the organisational approach to data privacy and protect customers’ data didn’t crash. It just got bigger. GDPR has grown beyond a tick in the box to reshape the way organisations are organised and working. In essence, GDPR might appear a straightforward concept, but the actual implementation has left some organisations struggling to ensure compliance. Evidently, compliance hasn’t been easy by any stretch, in the wake of monitoring a range of diverse processes across an organisation. This is precisely what OMNIPRIVACY intends to change.

Understanding the growing demand for a comprehensive solution to address diverse GDPR requirements, OMNIPRIVACY offers a 360-degree management tool for firms to gain full control and oversight of their GDPR readiness. “OMNIPRIVACY is a new application within the OMNITRACKER family with a different approach and deployment model that ensures operational excellence through optimal management of the GDPR processes. Alongside, it can also reduce the costs, improve efficiency, and enable the stakeholders to monitor the status of GDPR in real-time,” explains Stany Hellin, business manager, OMNIPRIVACY.

As part of the OMNITRACKER application suite of the German software company, OMNINET Software Solutions, OMNIPRIVACY monitors seven critical processes—processing register, contract management, data leaks, privacy requests, document management, risk management, and dashboards—to deliver efficient data privacy for its clients.

“We provide a full SaaS-based application to address the issue of data privacy and maintain compliance with the existing and emerging regulatory mandates,” adds Hellin. The business model is one of collaborating with strategic partners, who can embed and implement their intellectual property rights, best practices, methodologies, and templates into the OMNIPRIVACY tool to offer a complete solution for the customers. This provides a pragmatic way to customise the tool to address every aspect of the clients’ firm before moving toward compliance, thereby paving the way towards GDPR compliance quickly and efficiently.

Backed by more than 25 years of expertise of OMNINET Software Solutions in the industry and the accomplishments of the OMNITRACKER platform, the application offers distinct structure and control for clients’ organisation through centralised dashboards of relevant information on GDPR management, pragmatic approach, along with profound insights on the latest developments. The dashboards also allow data protection officers (DPOs) to immediately garner actionable intelligence by monitoring the main KPIs and drill down to operational figures and activities—from managing the essential tasks, executing processes through delegation, following up on the deadlines, and monitoring those tasks throughout the entire lifecycle. “We empower our clients’ data privacy teams with a comprehensive overview of where to focus for efficiently planning their midterm and short-term objectives, and effectively drive KPIs for the firm,” continues Hellin.

Apart from exposing the hidden risks that companies face when treating and processing data, OMNIPRIVACY imparts greater visibility into their entire workflows, enabling them to control liabilities and limit exposure. The application monitors all the risk factors to understand how they are evolving, compares them with historical data, and then provides a robust solution to resolve those liabilities. “OMNIPRIVACY is a complete risk management tool that follows the Deming Cycle—plan, do, check, and act (PDCA)—to address every evolving risk vectors in our clients’ organisation, such that they can attain the most tangible ROI as an organisation,” he adds.

OMNIPRIVACY has carved a niche in the GDPR landscape and plans to integrate reliable data security tools into its data privacy solution stack to shorten the security management cycle and drive efficiency. On similar lines, it also looks forward to leveraging emerging technology such as business process model and notation (BPMN) to automate business processes so that the management of controls will be more efficient and can be overseen regularly rather than once in every six months.
