Case Study: Tide achieves GDPR compliance automation with Atlan

Tide’s Story of GDPR Compliance Embedding Privacy into Automated Processes

Tide, a UK-based digital bank serving nearly 500,000 small business customers, needed a better way to meet GDPR’s Right to Erasure (“Right to be forgotten”) requirements. As the company grew, its data and legal teams struggled with unclear definitions of personal data, limited visibility across systems, and a largely manual compliance process.

Using Atlan as its modern data catalog, Tide defined and propagated personally identifiable information across its data estate, then used Atlan Playbooks to automate identification, tagging, and securing of personal data. Atlan helped turn a manual 50-day process into just a few hours of work, while improving data lineage, governance, and overall GDPR compliance readiness.
