Public Sector

At Vox we understand the burdens data privacy legislation such as GDPR places upon the Public Sector DPO. We also understand the increasing data gathering workloads, and processing challenges faced by sector DPOs, with limited resources and inadequate data privacy software tools.

Beyond handling a much greater workload without additional resources, DPOs suggested that gathering information in a timely manner, and finding that information in the first place, were also major challenges in fulfilling requests. A recent IT industry survey examined how data protection staff managed data protection requests and subject access requests (SARs).

  • Just 13% of DPOs used specialist purpose-built commercial tools
  • 33% processed such requests manually using spreadsheets.
  • 54% of DPOs used in-house custom-build platforms to handle requests, this method inspired the least amount of confidence, with a third of DPOs lacking confidence in such tools.

In an environment that places specific rules and restrictions on the protection, processing and consents of personal data the DataVista portal is designed for use by the public sector DPO faced with the governance of an organisations data privacy compliance.

The DataVista portal is a complete, agile up-to-the-minute data privacy governance and reporting solution that alleviates the burden of increasing workloads and the stress of potential non-compliance issues, in a fraction of the time currently taken to undertake these tasks.

Manufacturing

At Vox we understand the requirements of those within the manufacturing sector who acquire, and manage the data of suppliers, vendors, and direct consumers, some of which may be of a cross-border nature into areas with different data privacy laws.

With data privacy legislation updates and changes occurring on a regular basis, not having access to the correct ongoing processes and reporting tools to enable you to keep current within the regulations. This continues to create an increasing and arduous work stream burden and potential exposure to non-compliance on a daily basis.

We are also aware of the impact that the forthcoming fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0) will have on the manufacturing industry in the coming years. Increasingly greater software systems and solutions will be required to support the high-level integration and advances in process automation, connectivity and robotics. Alongside this the data produced by the optimization of supply chains & logistics, autonomous equipment & vehicles, and the deployment of IoT and Cloud technologies, will require a greater and ongoing focus on ensuring the adherence to increasing and changing global data privacy laws.

Logistical and Supply Chain

Data privacy is not a static set of rules and regulations; it continues to evolve and expand at a very fast pace. At Vox we understand the complexity of logistics and global supply chains and the need to keep current with differing data privacy regulations across the world.

Although there are minimum general data privacy standards that apply across the globe, each country or region is unique and its laws can vary widely.

Country laws and regulations often differ in matters of data processing involving the use of personal data of consumers, customers and partners .

Multiple customer touchpoints such as email, mobile applications, and franchise stores among others require retailers to take consent from customers on any data that is stored and also clarify on intended usage of the data to conform to GDPR laws. Company policies are required for providing personal information, and also for deleting data when requested.

Additionally, the Data Privacy safeguarding burden for those with e-commerce sales increases with distance from the customer compared to traditional retail formats.
