Personal Data Identification
One Platform. Full Control Over Personal Data.
Ensure full compliance with GDPR and the Swiss Data Protection Act — automatically detect, classify, and delete personal data across all systems from a single, central platform.
Meeting the “right to be forgotten” shouldn’t require manual searches across countless systems.
JiVS Personal Data Identification (PDI) uses AI to automatically detect, classify, and link personal data across your entire landscape. Combined with Retention Management, it enables automated, audit-proof deletion and full GDPR compliance — from one central platform.
THE CHALLENGE
The Right to Be Forgotten — Still a Headache for IT
European and Swiss data protection laws grant employees and customers the right to be forgotten. Yet, decades after GDPR’s introduction, most organizations still struggle to enforce it consistently.
Why? Because personal data is often scattered across countless environments — from SAP and third-party systems to in-house applications — and hidden under multiple identifiers, names, or employee records. Even if companies know where personal data resides, deletion usually requires time-consuming manual actions in every system.
For enterprises with historically evolved IT landscapes, the result is predictable:
High compliance risk
Inefficient, manual processes
Fragmented visibility into where personal data lives
THE SOLUTION
AI That Knows Where Personal Data Lives
JiVS IMP now solves this challenge intelligently and efficiently. The new Personal Data Identification (PDI) functionality uses AI to scan, detect, and classify personal data across all connected systems — even in environments without complete metadata repositories.
It automatically identifies tables, columns, and fields containing personal data, then presents the results in a clear, unified view for review and validation. This drastically reduces manual effort while delivering a comprehensive map of all personal data across the organization.
Based on these insights, companies can define deletion rules and create business objects directly in JiVS Retention Management (RM) — enabling automated, rule-based deletion of all personal data whose retention periods have expired.
From then on, every data deletion request can be executed centrally — across all systems — from a single, secure interface.
