Responsible Use of Data. Data Compliance Management
Connectivity and digitalization have a crucial role in future mobility. Large quantities of data are the basis for many new business models, including automated and autonomous driving, driving assistance systems, vehicle safety and new services. We are committed to using data responsibly. At the same time, we focus on the needs of our customers. Our group-wide Data Compliance Management System helps us plan, implement and monitor measures to comply with data protection regulations in this process.
The Data Compliance Management System
In order to accommodate the regulatory requirements concerning data, we are one of the first automobile manufacturer to combine the existing measures, processes and systems for data security compliance into a Data Compliance Management System (Data CMS). It is based on the Mercedes-Benz Compliance Management System already in place. It helps us to systematically plan the measures for complying with data protection regulations based on risk, to implement them throughout the Group and to continuously monitor them. With the Data CMS, Mercedes-Benz exceeds the statutory requirements in order to ensure sustainable handling of data in the company.
