Effective Risk Management

The Data Protection Rating supports you in risk management by helping to identify and minimize data privacy risks in the supply chain. By assessing data privacy practices, organizations can identify potential vulnerabilities and take appropriate measures to reduce the risk of a data privacy breach.

Only 25 Questions

The assessment of the Data Protection Rating is based on 25 practical questions, including ten so-called 'minimum requirements' - requirements that must be strictly complied with according to GDPR - which are easy for you to answer with little effort

Compliance

A good data privacy rating not only provides a sense of security but also reduces the risk of data breaches and associated legal consequences. By fulfilling the obligations of the GDPR and other data protection laws, the organization can protect itself from fines, reputational damage, and legal issues.

Transparent and Secure

The questions posed in the Data Protection Rating are publicly accessible at all times. This means you can inform yourself before starting the assessment. After completion and provision of the Data Privacy Rating, the responses to the requirements (self-declaration) will be deleted after two weeks.

Ahead of the Competition

Organizations with a positive Data Protection Rating enjoy a clear competitive advantage. A solid rating signals to potential customers and partners that the organization takes data protection seriously and implements appropriate measures.

Always Up-To-Date

The questions of the Data Protection Rating are annually maintained and optimized by the Data Protection Advisory Board to ensure an up-to-date security standard. This ensures ongoing compliance with regulatory requirements. Therefore, the rating is valid for one year.
