Protect privacy of the data in your trust
If your organization is collecting, analyzing or sharing personal data, you are facing data privacy challenges that put it at risk. With a heightened awareness of the impact of personal data collection and use, increased regulation or new security threats, many companies are examining ways to successfully manage personal information throughout its lifecycle. Privacy is a brand issue and you need to protect your brand. And if you're not prepared to comply with the growing number of global data privacy laws such as GDPR, you could be exposing your company to significant business risk.
IBM® Data Privacy Services can help you establish policies that govern the way your organization gathers and manages data, to reduce that risk and ensure you meet global privacy goals.

Case studies

Multinational manages privacy compliance across borders
Moving protected data into and out of 45 different countries means complying with multiple levels of data privacy regulations.
IBM created a multidimensional data map to show the requirements of any proposed data transfer or use in those jurisdictions. IBM research and software teams also created the patented Data Privacy Engine for automated decisions.
Although challenged by constantly changing laws, the matrix helped the enterprise save on legal fees and address a complex concern.

Global bank significantly improve privacy controls
The bank needed to a single, authoritative source of data that identified jurisdictions with complex, stringent privacy regulations that require special attention.
IBM helped develop global strategies and program management, including a repository of privacy laws, mapped the bank’s protection standards to the obligations, and a developed a data privacy architecture to address governance, reporting and data ownership.
As a result, the bank was able to operate in a more systematic way across the enterprise, keep track of requirements and reduce risk.
