LONDON, Nov. 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- OneTrust customer,
Allianz Group, a global financial services company with 83 million
customers and operations in over 70 countries, was today awarded
the 2017 HPE-IAPP Privacy Innovation Award at the IAPP Europe Data
Protection Congress in Brussels.
Allianz is recognised for its innovative privacy operations
programme, and its use of the OneTrust privacy management software,
in order to implement accountability and compliance ahead of the
EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
In recognising Allianz as the most innovative privacy operations
programme of the year, the IAPP's judging committee considered a
series of criteria, including: Level of Innovation, Breadth of
Adoption, Revenue and Probability, and Proportion of Customers
Impacted.
"The HPE-IAPP Privacy Innovation Awards spotlight unique
programs and services in global privacy and data protection.
Allianz has been honored as a fine example of the best our field
has to offer," said IAPP President and CEO J. Trevor Hughes.
Allianz's collaboration with OneTrust to implement and scale the
privacy operations program was highlighted in two key areas in the
nomination, the first being the OneTrust technologies assistance in
scaling the Allianz program:
"The … innovative aspect is
Allianz's use of emerging technologies in the IAPP ecosystem to
scale and operationalize their program's overall structure. Given
this complex structure, Allianz mapped their program into
OneTrust's privacy management software and implemented a central
framework which takes derogations into account."
The second is OneTrust's ability to support Allianz with
internal training in the use of OneTrust:
"Allianz reinforced [DPO]
training and coordinated a city-by-city roadshow to further drive
adoption of these concepts."
Sponsored by Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) and issued by the
International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP), the
world's largest information privacy community and resource with
more than 32,000 members in over 100 countries, the Innovation
Awards recognise unique programmes and services in global privacy
and data protection in the private and public sectors.
Regarded as one of the world's largest data controllers and
processors, Allianz's significant brand presence requires efficient
operations and innovations to tackle privacy challenges and
regulations.
"Allianz is honoured to receive this esteemed award for our
innovations in privacy operations," said Allianz's Group Chief
Privacy Officer Dr. Philipp Raether,
CIPP/E, "We would like to thank the IAPP for recognising the
transformative nature of Allianz's privacy programme ahead of the
GDPR, as well as OneTrust for its partnership in Allianz's privacy
program."
The 2017 HPE-IAPP Privacy Innovation Award was announced during
a special breakout session at the IAPP's Europe Data Protection
Congress in Brussels, Belgium on 8
November 2017. Allianz's Dr. Raether, accepted the Innovation
Award on behalf of the company.
"Congratulations to the Allianz team on the prestigious award!
Allianz has done exceptional work in privacy program management,
and I am proud of the partnership that Allianz and OneTrust have
established in supporting the program," said OneTrust CEO and
Fellow of Information Privacy (FIP), Kabir
Barday, CIPP US/E, CIPM, CIPT. "The IAPP's acknowledgement
of Allianz and their use of OneTrust as part of the innovation
award is great validation of our privacy management software
solution and approach to supporting our customers."
