«Adnovum recognized our needs regarding the new data protection law and developed a tailor-made solution for us. I very much appreciated the exchange at eye level.»

The solution

An in-depth analysis revealed where Viscom Engineering needs to take action in terms of processes and data security to meet the requirements of the new data protection law (nFADP). Based on Adnovum’s advice, Viscom has definied targeted measures. 

 In particular, the company now knows how to process requests to destroy or correct data and how to deal with data breaches under the nFADP. For both cases, Viscom has implemented a specific process.  

 In a half-day training course, Viscom also delved deeper into the topic of data protection. It is now passing on its findings to all employees. 

 Thanks to the all-in-one package – i.e., the combination of analysis, consulting and workshop – Viscom has confirmation that it is fully up to date in terms of data protection.

Features that changed the game for Viscom

A legally compliant setup: Based on the analysis and the measures taken, Viscom Engineering can trust that it meets the requirements of the nFADP. 

Professional competence: Thanks to detailed knowledge of specific requirements and the in-depth workshop, including knowledge transfer, employees are well informed on the subject of data protection. 

Security: The legally compliant setup and the professional competence of employees minimize Viscom’s risk of suffering reputational, financial, or other damage as a result of a data breach.  

How we got there

Viscom Engineering’s aim was to find out how it is positioned in terms of data protection – in general and with regard to the revised data protection law, which came into force on September 1, 2023.  

Based on an analysis of Viscom’s processes and data security, Adnovum determined the current situation and accompanied the SME on its further path: it identified where action was needed and supported Viscom in defining, prioritizing and introducing targeted measures. 

For certain processes, e.g., how to handle requests for information, correction or deletion, Viscom used templates, among other things, which they compared with the processes. 

The final step was an on-site data security training course at Viscom, including recommendations on how to pass on the knowledge to all employees. 

The combination of analysis, consulting, and training was key in tailoring a solution to Viscom’s specific needs.
