Data protection and IT security in Human Resources: tailored consulting solutions for your personal data

In the personnel file, all personal data from names and addresses to marital status and certificates are recorded. Application documents already contain a wealth of data, and throughout the employment relationship, new data such as sick notes or certificates of incapacity for work are continuously added. These personal data and information must be particularly protected. This is regulated by the GDPR and the BDSG. General data protection principles such as the purpose limitation principle are also particularly relevant in human resources.
