Building trust
You want your business at the forefront of trusted data management. The new legislation requires transparency, which is the key to that trust.
Your clients require conviction in your ability to manage and process data in accordance with the new legislation. This is the chance to prove your ability to target the right people whilst remaining fully compliant.
Strengthening customer relations
Successful GDPR implementation requires transparency and individuals’ rights provision.
You need to ensure your business is ready to sustain the change into the future and look beyond just compliance and forward toward developing the new opportunities this legislation presents.
Rebuild customer sentiment
GDPR legislation gives you the ideal opportunity to reconnect with your customers. You will be required to ask for specific permissions from individuals and this could be turned to your advantage by providing information about how it will benefit them.

Cut your data storage costs
Because you will be storing less data for a shorter time period, data storage costs can be cut. There will be some data management features your business will need to approach differently and others you will be undertaking for the very first time. Hitachi Solutions gives your organisation the practical capability to employ scalable protection programmes that are exactly right for you.
Clear communication between partners
The new GDPR legislation means standardising data, making it easier to share with your partners. Clear communication is the goal of any business and GDPR implementation can help you achieve this.
Greater innovation
GDPR is the catalyst your organisation needs to modernise and restructure existing systems.
The cost of getting it wrong GDPR places specific legal obligations and responsibilities on you. Any data breach will require reporting to the relevant authorities. Your business runs the risk of a collapse of confidence and hefty fines (up to €20m or 4% of global annual turnover — whichever is the greater) if any contravention of the new law takes place.
However, it is generally accepted that if a company can prove it is working toward compliance in the best way possible, any fines or penalties would be drastically reduced.
How we can helpThere is a lot to do, but to make the task less daunting and more manageable, we have broken it down into four manageable steps.
Discover
The first step toward compliance starts with analysis — a full understanding of what data you have and where it currently resides. This inventory is necessary to help you understand which data you hold is personal and identify the places where it is collected and stored.
Manage
The new legislation means individuals have greater control over how their personal data is captured. This means that any data you hold must be available on request, making robust classification an essential part of your business.
Protect
GDPR raises the bar on information security. It requires business to take appropriate organisational and technical measures to protect personal data from loss, unauthorised access or disclosure. We have the software solutions for you to achieve this.
Report
There is a new level of transparency required by GDPR. This includes accountability procedures and rigorous, complex, record keeping. One way to achieve this is by using proven auditing tools so the processing of data is tracked and recorded across all relevant areas.
Our solutionsOur long partnership with Microsoft ensures we are at the forefront of data protection. Microsoft has extensive experience not only in protecting data, but also championing privacy and complying with complex regulations. We have the knowledge to implement your Microsoft solutions.
Our aim is to make the transition as trouble free as possible.
We have cloud services and on premises solutions to help you:
• Locate and catalogue personal data
• Build a more secure environment
• Simplify your management and monitoring solutions

Data Management and Security
Communication
Data Science
Marketing
Our four key areas of expertise are:1. Data management and security
Microsoft Azure is a high security system. It ensures only authorised users can access computer environments and applications through features like Multi-Factor Authentication for an extremely secure sign in. Microsoft Azure Information Protection is already one step ahead of the game, making all your data identifiable and secure — a key requirement in the new legislation. Microsoft Dynamics 365 enables you to transform your business for the digital age. In a data driven world, a successful business is one that can analyse information effectively. This is a fully connected, cloud-based solution. The pace of business is brisk and Microsoft Dynamics 365 powerfully connects you to the information that matters and unlocks new opportunities. We help you focus on your core business while efficiently preparing for GDPR.
2. Data science
Hitachi Solutions can carry out high quality data analysis. This tells you exactly where your data is, provides a gap analysis and suggests suitable data management solutions. This means you are aware of exactly what needs to happen next. We make audits and actions simple, giving your business the confidence to conduct ongoing data management into the future.
3. Communication
Hitachi Solutions can implement processes for handling requests by individuals. GDPR provides EU residents with full control over their personal data. At its most basic level, this means individuals can access readily available information about how their data
is used (in plain English) and request a personal copy of all data held about them — at any time. Your business needs to have this information readily available and easily accessible.
4. Marketing
Under the new legislation, individuals can object to processing of data for specific uses, such as marketing and profiling. We can implement processes around consent tracking (that is, individuals who can be marketed to based on consent and product suitability) to make sure you are always compliant with the new legislation.
Every challenge brings with it opportunity There is no doubt that GDPR will bring challenges to the business world, particularly during the transition period, however this is also your chance to upgrade your current data management and move into the future with confidence.
Hitachi Solutions will enhance your data management technology to ensure your business is working towards full compliance. Trusted and ready for a new way of working.
