Structured Approach Model We have developed our own approach model for integrated management systems that addresses data protection and information security together to create synergies. This model considers the compliance requirements of relevant standards and regulations. In addition, we have developed a framework of measures, processes, templates, guidelines, and documents to effectively and sustainably translate extensive compliance requirements and evidence obligations into operational practice. Our structured approach has allowed us to break down the complex requirements for building a GDPR-compliant data protection management system into manageable work and solution components—our Workpackages. In addition to the structured approach model, our framework includes a holistic and audit-proven documentation concept that we rely on. This includes management manuals, process descriptions, guidelines, templates, forms, and implementation concepts. Transparent Results Report with Concrete Action Recommendations We provide you with a clear results report featuring transparent traffic light reporting. This gives you a structured overview of the current data protection and security situation, as well as the implementation status of the respective controls (requirements). Additionally, you receive professional feedback along with concrete action recommendations to help you safely achieve your goals. Innovative DSMS Tool For the creation and operation of a professional data protection management system, we have developed our innovative tool suite “TRIGovernance” for integrated management systems. This suite combines the necessary solution components, such as document management and control, information classification, asset and risk management (including DPIA), processing descriptions, as well as audit and task management, into a unique collaboration platform for integrated management systems. Functioning and Audited Solution Components Our solution components are not only carefully designed but have also been tested and refined through numerous audits. Each component is crafted to meet the highest standards of data protection and information security, ensuring compliance with relevant regulations such as GDPR and ISO standards.

Defining the Scope of Investigation The initial meeting with you is aimed at aligning the objectives, audit standards, and scope of the status analysis. In a personal exchange, the framework for the status analysis is established. This includes determining which companies (in a group context), departments, IT systems, and applications will be audited. Additionally, the participants and audit contacts are defined. Preparing for the On-site or Remote Audit To prepare for the audit, the necessary checklists are compiled, and the interview partners are selected. The checklists serve as interview guides and systematically document the status. They structure the audit and assist with document verification. Conducting the Status Assessment The status assessment is conducted through interviews based on the checklists. Together with the interview partners, the current implementation status of data protection is evaluated and compared with the standards’ requirements. Additionally, document audits are carried out. Creating the Results Report Based on the audit, a results report is created. This report identifies discrepancies, highlights risks and areas requiring action, and provides specific recommendations for improvement measures. It includes a combination of traffic light reports and annotated block and action overviews, giving the client a transparent status of the current data protection situation. Transparent Results Report As a result of your data protection status assessment, you will receive a clear and comprehensive results report on the state of data protection in your company. This provides transparency and serves as a foundation for further steps in building a professional data protection management system. The results report summarizes the findings from the audits and organizes them according to data protection processes. Trigonum uses a traffic light reporting system to show where action is still needed and which requirements have already been well implemented. Additionally, the report provides individual recommendations for implementing data protection in your company, along with measures and suggestions for building a DSMS. If desired, we can also assist with the implementation of these recommendations and measures. Structured Approach Model We have developed our own approach model for integrated management systems that addresses data protection and information security together to create synergies. This model considers the compliance requirements of relevant standards and norms, which we have consolidated into controls. In the next step, we developed a framework of measures, processes, templates, guidelines, and documents to sustainably and purposefully translate extensive compliance requirements and evidence obligations into operational practice. Our structured approach allows us to break down the complex requirements for building a GDPR-compliant data protection management system into manageable work and solution components—our Workpackages. The foundation for a functioning data protection management system is an initial audit for the status assessment. Only when we know where you currently stand can we plan the right path to your goal together. The advantage of this approach is that clear answers are provided to the following questions: What measures are required to fulfill the controls? Which “DSMS documents” are needed for a GDPR-compliant DSMS? Which measures are typically covered in which documents? Which requirements have already been implemented in our company, and what still needs to be done to meet the applicable standards? What must be considered when establishing a GDPR-compliant data protection organization? Who is responsible for what, and what are the next steps? This approach allows you to answer external auditors’ (e.g., data protection authorities, accreditation bodies) questions about the evidence requirements quickly and confidently. In addition to the structured approach model, our framework includes a holistic and audit-tested documentation concept. This concept comprises management manuals, process descriptions, guidelines, templates, forms, and implementation concepts. Innovative Tool TRIGovernance To meet the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), particularly regarding risk management, documentation and evidence obligations, regular auditing, and continuous process improvement, it is essential to establish a data protection management system (DSMS). Ideally, this system should be integrated with other management systems relevant to your company (QMS, ISMS, etc.) to avoid duplication of effort and increase transparency. For this purpose, we have developed our innovative tool suite “TRIGovernance” for building and operating integrated management systems. This suite combines the necessary solution components, such as document management and control, information classification, asset and risk management (including DPIA), processing descriptions, and audit and task management into a powerful collaboration platform for integrated management systems. This way, companies have all the information and solution components centrally in one place, simplifying processes and leveraging synergies for the implementation of various management systems.
