First overarching data protection management dashboard
Data protection management is becoming increasingly important. The Profile and Privacy Management Dashboard has now been released as part of the latest ForgeRock Identity Platform 5.5. It allows consumers to manage their own privacy settings, preference management and fine-grained access controls.
In addition to preference management, users of the new data protection management dashboard ("Profile and Privacy Management Dashboard") can now check whether their online products, solutions and services meet the requirements of the new EU data protection basic regulation (DSGVO). Although the DSGVO is EU legislation, it has global implications. From 25 May 2018, all companies that work with or store data on European customers and consumers will be subject to these regulations.
The basic data protection regulation
The basic data protection regulation gives back to EU citizens the control over their personal data, even if they are stored and managed in private third party systems. The regulation gives individuals the right to know what data is stored about them and who is authorised to access it.
They can correct their personal data and decide whether and how the data may be used for other purposes or delete it permanently. If the regulation is violated, the company faces severe penalties, so the basic data protection regulation must be taken seriously.
The ForgeRock dashboard supports the following DSGVO requirements:
- the right to information
- the right of access to data
- the right to correction
- the right to revoke consent at any time
- the right to delete the data permanently or the "right to forget".
Consumers have full control over their personal data and sharing settings in a single platform. At the same time, the dashboard sends a clear message that companies respect the privacy of their customers and comply with the basic data protection regulation.
In addition, the ForgeRock Identity Platform has added WeChat, Instagram, Twitter and Salesforce to the list of identity providers, and also integrates marketing tools such as Marketo and Adobe Campaign.
For organizations, the dashboard API model with flexible personalization capabilities and fine-grained data sharing capabilities is a comprehensive solution for managing people, services, and things needed throughout the enterprise process, including existing systems and infrastructure.
The Profile and Privacy Management Dashboard is here available as demo. The Profile and Privacy Management Dashboard is officially available from 27 October 2017.
