For Econocom, data protection is more than just a legal obligation—it is a core part of their business strategy:

• Building trust through compliance from the outset: In areas such as IT outsourcing, data hosting, and device management, it is crucial to integrate data protection requirements early and consistently.
• Leading by example: As a digital services company, Econocom strives to act in full GDPR compliance across all functions and business units, setting a benchmark for the industry.
• Driving innovation: With the rise of artificial intelligence processing large volumes of data, it is essential to understand the “black boxes” of these technologies and ensure the rights of data subjects are upheld.

After a comprehensive selection process, Econocom opted for the Privacy Cockpit as its central GDPR management platform. And here’s why:

• Collaborative partnership: EQS not only supports Econocom with expert advice but also takes suggestions for further platform development into account.
• User-friendly interface: The platform is easily accessible and intuitive for all users across Econocom.
• Future-proof compliance: Econocom continuously benefits from new features and updates provided by the Privacy Cockpit.

• Record of processing activities: By migrating all Excel-based records into the Privacy Cockpit, Econocom significantly accelerated the creation and maintenance of its processing records.
• Incident reporting: With the integrated module for managing data breaches, Econocom can efficiently respond to incidents and improve collaboration with IT security officers.
• Privacy by design: Supported by tailored questionnaires within the platform, Econocom incorporates data protection measures right from the project planning phase.
• Data protection impact assessments (DPIAs): The integrated tools simplify and streamline the execution of DPIAs.
• Data subject rights: Econocom successfully implemented processes for handling data subject requests using the dedicated module for data subject rights.
