At Vestas, an internal review of the company's approach to data protection and compliance has been launched. The wind turbine manufacturer believes that over the years it has implemented GDPR and other data protection regulations more extensively than necessary. The company will therefore clean up a number of internal processes. Among other things, heavy compliance procedures will be cut back, and employees' mandatory data protection courses will be made shorter and more targeted. The goal is to reduce the administrative burden so that compliance requirements disrupt the company's daily operations to a lesser extent. This is what ComplianceTech writes.
- Vestas has been on a bit of a privacy journey since GDPR came into force, says Pia Moltke Jensen, head of data privacy at Vestas.
Previously, employees have had to go through longer training courses with many legal concepts. In the future, the training will consist more of short introductions that are based on the rules that are relevant to the individual employee's work. At the same time, Vestas is changing its approach to compliance advice so that employees and departments are more likely to handle data protection themselves in their daily work. However, the changed approach has also met with resistance internally within the organization. In addition, the company is working on a new tool that will make reporting on, among other things, GDPR, NIS2 and the AI regulation simpler.
