Data Protection Management Made Simple with Trigonum’s Expertise

Data Protection Management: Sustainable Compliance with GDPR

Efficient – Professional – Legally Compliant
Trigonum’s approach to data protection management helps companies implement GDPR requirements effectively, establishing an efficient, sustainable data protection management system (DPMS). With today’s heightened compliance demands, driven by regulations such as the GDPR, KRITIS, and BSI Act, a reliable DPMS has become essential.

Navigating Complex Data Protection Requirements

Today, companies must address increasingly strict data protection standards. These requirements have grown significantly due to the implementation of the GDPR, the KRITIS Regulation, and the BSI Act. Additionally, compliance demands from business partners and customers continue to rise, creating further pressure on organizations.

Implementing a Data Protection Management System (DPMS)

A data protection management system, based on ISO 27701, is widely seen as an effective solution for meeting data protection challenges. This system provides a structured framework that powers corporate data protection. However, it requires ongoing maintenance within the organization to stay effective.

The Challenge of GDPR Compliance

For many companies, GDPR clarifies what is allowed or prohibited in data protection but doesn’t specify how to implement these requirements. Furthermore, companies must adhere to accountability obligations, meaning they must document and prove compliance. This responsibility often poses a significant challenge for organizations.

ISO/IEC 27701 and Synergies in Security

ISO/IEC 27701 builds on ISO/IEC 27001, extending an existing information security management system to cover data protection requirements. By integrating these management systems, companies can leverage synergies and improve their overall security levels.

Trigonum’s Approach to Data Protection Management

To meet data protection obligations and provide clear evidence for business partners and regulatory authorities, Trigonum recommends establishing a professional data protection management system. Our tailored approach enables companies to build an effective DPMS, systematically and purposefully.

Innovative Tool for Mapping the Data Protection Management System

For the creation and operation of a professional data protection management system, we have developed our innovative tool for integrated management systems, “TRIGovernance.” The close integration of solution components for document management and control, information classification, asset and risk management, processing descriptions, as well as audit and task management, makes “TRIGovernance” a powerful collaboration platform for integrated management systems. This allows companies to centralize all information and solution components in one place, streamline processes, and leverage synergies for mapping different management systems.

Structured Approach Model for Building a Data Protection Management System

We have developed our own approach model for integrated management systems that addresses both data protection and information security together to create synergies. This model considers the compliance requirements of relevant standards and norms. Additionally, we have developed a framework of measures, processes, templates, guidelines, and documents to sustainably and effectively translate the extensive compliance requirements and evidence obligations into operational practice.

Through our structured approach, we have succeeded in breaking down the complex requirements for establishing a GDPR-compliant data protection management system into manageable work and solution components – our work packages.

More on Data Protection

  • Integrated DSMS + ISMS
  •  - Trigonum - Managementsysteme für Informationssicherheit und Datenschutz auf Basis Mircosoft 365In today’s world, data protection and information security can no longer be viewed in isolation. It is increasingly important to address the requirements of both disciplines regarding the technical and organizational measures (TOMs) in an integrated manner. A key success factor for effective data protection and information security management is their integration into existing business processes to avoid duplication of effort and impractical solutions. Based on these insights, Trigonum has developed an integrated approach that aligns with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), ISO 27701, ISO 27001, TISAX, and other recognized standards, addressing information security and data protection together.

  • Structured Approach Model
  •  - Trigonum - Managementsysteme für Informationssicherheit und Datenschutz auf Basis Mircosoft 365

    We have developed a unique approach model for integrated management systems that addresses both data protection and information security together, maximizing synergies. This model considers the compliance requirements of relevant standards and norms, which we have consolidated into clear controls.

    Structured Framework for Compliance

    In the next step, we created a framework that includes measures, processes, templates, guidelines, and documents. This framework is designed to translate extensive compliance requirements and evidence obligations into practical, operational steps effectively and sustainably.

    Breaking Down Complex Requirements into Manageable Components

    Through our structured approach, we have transformed the complex requirements for establishing a GDPR-compliant data protection management system into manageable work and solution components, which we refer to as “work packages.”

    Starting with an Initial Audit

    The foundation of a successful data protection management system is an initial audit to determine your current status. By knowing where you currently stand, we can plan the best path forward together.

    Key Questions Answered by Our Approach

    • What measures can be taken to meet compliance requirements (controls)?
    • What “DSMS documents” need to be created for a GDPR-compliant DSMS?
    • Which measures are typically regulated in which documents?
    • What requirements have already been implemented, and what still needs to be done to meet audit standards?
    • What should be considered when setting up a GDPR-compliant data protection organization?
    • Who is responsible for each step, and what actions are required?

    This approach enables you to quickly and confidently answer questions from external auditors (e.g., data protection authorities or accreditation bodies) regarding documentation and evidence obligations.

    Comprehensive and Audit-Proven Documentation

    Alongside our structured approach model, we offer a holistic, audit-proven documentation concept that includes management manuals, process descriptions, guidelines, templates, forms, and implementation concepts.

  • Protecting Data and Knowledge
  •  - Trigonum - Managementsysteme für Informationssicherheit und Datenschutz auf Basis Mircosoft 365

    More and more companies are recognizing the importance of information and data in the digital age, so alongside the legally required protection of personal data, the protection of corporate knowledge is also becoming a focus. Information and data are valuable assets for companies and must be appropriately protected. Since most information and personal data today are at least partially created, stored, transmitted, or processed with information technology (IT), it is necessary to take measures to ensure the adequate protection of this information. Simply purchasing antivirus software, firewalls, or data backup systems is often no longer sufficient to achieve an adequate level of security for all business processes, information, and IT systems within a company. To meet this challenge, a holistic concept is essential.

    This primarily includes a functioning and integrated security management system within the company. To achieve this, so-called TOMs (technical and organizational measures) must be implemented as part of risk management to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information, applications, and IT systems. This is a continuous process in which strategies and concepts must be regularly reviewed for their effectiveness and adjusted as needed. Trigonum supports companies in building tailored data protection and/or information security management systems to adequately protect both personal data and corporate knowledge.

  • Innovative Tool TRIGovernance
  •  - Trigonum - Managementsysteme für Informationssicherheit und Datenschutz auf Basis Mircosoft 365

    To meet the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), particularly in risk management, documentation and evidence obligations, regular auditing, and continuous improvement of defined processes, it is necessary to establish a Data Protection Management System (DPMS). Ideally, this should be integrated with other relevant management systems for your company (QMS, ISMS, etc.) to avoid duplication of work and increase transparency.

    For this purpose, we have developed our innovative tool “TRIGovernance” for the creation and operation of integrated management systems. The close integration of solution components for document management and control, information classification, asset and risk management, processing descriptions, Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs), as well as audit and task management, makes “TRIGovernance” a powerful collaboration platform for integrated management systems. This allows companies to centralize all information and solution components in one place, streamline processes, and leverage synergies for mapping different management systems.
