Privacy Posture Management (PPM) for Manufacturing

Overview

While focused on production, manufacturers still manage vast amounts of regulated personal information (PII) belonging to employees, partners, and customers, making robust data privacy essential for global operations. Cybervergent’s Privacy Posture Management (PPM) solution empowers industrial firms to proactively safeguard sensitive personal data while efficiently meeting local and global privacy mandates. PPM covers the entire data privacy lifecycle (from identification to managing access and automating incident response), ensuring your firm maintains data stewardship and avoids costly fines.

Key Capabilities 

PII Data Discovery & Classification: Automatically locate sensitive personal information (PII) across all storage environments (internal systems, cloud drives, corporate servers, etc) and categorize them based on legal and regulatory sensitivity (e.g., specific requirements for GDPR/CCPA compliance).

Access Control Enforcement: Enforce strict access to sensitive PII through robust permission controls, ensuring only authorized personnel (e.g., HR) can view personal employee or partner data.

Continuous Privacy Risk Assessment: Evaluates, scores, and strategically mitigates risks tied to personal data exposure, providing a real-time health score of your privacy posture.

  Automated Data Monitoring & Incident Response: Continuously observe and log all data interactions to detect potential misuse or privacy violations in real time, and establish auditable workflows for breach identification and notification. 

Features 

Cybervergent PPM empowers manufacturing organizations to achieve real-time privacy control and assured compliance across multiple jurisdictions and standards. It delivers:

• Legal Confidence: Ensures compliance with strict global privacy regulations (GDPR, CCPA), avoiding costly fines and reputational damage.
• Proactive Protection: Mitigates privacy-related risks by focusing on preventing data leaks, misuse, and unauthorized access before they can occur.
• Transparency and Trust: Demonstrates responsible data stewardship to employees, partners, and regulators, reinforcing digital trust.
