Data protection for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)
The data protection challenges vary depending on the size of the company. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in particular regularly do not have the necessary personnel structure to deal fully with data protection. It is not uncommon for even the management to be entrusted with implementation. The abundance of tasks, especially against the backdrop of the strict data protection requirements in Germany, often means that SMEs can only inadequately fulfill data protection.
In practice, various approaches to solving this problem compete with each other. However, it can sometimes be seen that the solutions for meeting the legal requirements are inadequate. In addition, some solutions are so comprehensive that they cannot be applied in practice.
Customized solution for SMEs
Based on this, it is necessary that data protection is introduced and lived according to the requirements within an SME. In this respect, the core of an implemented data protection model is a resource-saving and efficient approach. This is the only way to minimize the impact on the core business. In addition, data protection issues must be as easy to handle as possible and the handling process must be intuitive for the workforce.
