The Customer

Anyline is an Austrian technology company that develops AI-based mobile data capture solutions. Anyline's software is used worldwide to scan and automatically process texts, barcodes, and documents via smartphone. As a company processing large volumes of personal data, Anyline is subject to the strict requirements of the GDPR and international data protection standards.

The Challenge: GDPR complexity in an international AI company

As an AI company, Anyline processes large volumes of personal data from various countries. GDPR requirements are correspondingly complex: processing activities must be fully documented, international data transfers secured, and technical measures demonstrably implemented. The previous documentation with Excel spreadsheets could no longer handle this scope. At the same time, ISO 27001 certification was on the horizon, which required a structured ISMS.

The Solution: DSMS and ISMS on one platform

Anyline uses the Data Protection and Information Security modules of the Akarion GRC Cloud:

Parallel work: The legal team, IT security, and management work simultaneously in the cloud on documentation and measures without blocking each other.
Shared data foundation: Processing activities, risks, and technical measures are captured once and are available to both management systems.
Certification readiness: The platform structurally maps ISO 27001 requirements and provides the necessary documentation for the audit.
Close support: The AKARION team supports onboarding, answers technical questions, and helps with configuration.

The Result: ISO 27001 certified, compliance professionalized

The Akarion GRC Cloud has fundamentally transformed compliance work at Anyline:

ISO 27001 certification: The audit went smoothly, and the entire documentation was complete and audit-ready.
DSMS and ISMS unified: Data protection and information security run on a central platform instead of separate Excel files.
Efficient reporting: Standardized reports are automatically generated, saving the legal team considerable time.
Scalable: The solution grows with the company and can be extended with additional modules as needed.

Head of Legal

Before introducing the AKARION Compliance Cloud, classic documentation for the GDPR was rather inadequate. In a company like Anyline, this task is extremely complex. Too complex to be mapped with traditional Excel spreadsheets.
