With 70 affiliated companies across the world, and many locale-specific unique privacy requirements, OSRAM needed a technology solution that also served as a powerful communication tool to educate employees about data mapping exercises and its importance for global privacy compliance. OSRAM took the same innovative approach in ensuring its privacy program met the regulation's strict data protection standards as they take with their technology. Data mapping and inventory are critical components of GDPR-ready privacy program, and understanding how data flows through OSRAM was an important pre-requisite to being able to secure the data and analyze risks. OSRAM selected OneTrust to serve as its technology platform to deliver data mapping questionnaires and automate the PIA and DPIA assessment process across the company.
