Case Study: Hubert Burda Media strengthens GDPR data protection management with otris privacy from otris software AG

Hubert Burda Media - Customer Case Study

Hubert Burda Media, a large and diversified media group, faced the immense challenge of restructuring its data protection organization to comply with the complex verification requirements of the GDPR. The existing central system could not scale to handle tasks across its approximately 70 individual companies. To manage this, they continued using the data protection software otris privacy from otris software AG, which provided the necessary structure and documentation for processing activities.

The solution implemented by otris software AG centered on the multi-client capable otris privacy software, enabling a decentralized yet centrally controlled approach. This allowed local data protection coordinators to document processing activities while the headquarters maintained oversight. The software streamlined the documentation of hundreds of data processing contracts and automated the workflow for handling over 20,000 data subject requests. As a result, otris software AG helped Hubert Burda Media build a stable, efficient, and compliant data protection foundation, simplifying operational work across the entire group.
