All great businesses begin with an idea, as a start-up, and with the need to find their relevance and what makes themdifferent from the competition, so they can bring to the market their unique propositions, intellectual property, and knowledge. DataBench is exactly on this journey. It has done its research, it has stepped up its technology platforms, and is now driving into boardrooms across Australia and New Zealand the importance of data privacy fromboth compliance requirements and from a positive brand experience by consumers. Founded in 2018, DataBench’s earliest days were focused on assessing the global wave of data privacy compliance and how the world’s vendor market was responding to a new global industry. It became clear that most businesses don’t know the full extent of applications and systems they have running across their organisations, so they don’t really know where all the personal data sits within their business. The other core underlying finding was organisations choosing to address the changing landscape with manual solutions where they were applying, on average, up to six extra staff to deal with the increased workloads. Despite this, they still found themselves falling behind on mandated timeframes as they still needed signoff from 6-8 departments to release information and failing their legislation obligations. On the other hand, organisations that choose to address privacy legislation with automated solutions were reducing workload so it could be managed by just one staff member who is able to turn workflow around within 1-3 days. DataBench knew that helping businesses across Australia and New Zealand to automate their respective privacy and personal data landscapes was the best place to start, so it designed a leading automated data privacy platform called DataBench. As the company’s founder, David Christmas notes, “It needs to be a local Australian solution tailored for local conditions and ultimately for local companies.” DataBench has designed a solution that puts the topic of personal data compliance programmes back onto the boardroom agenda throughout Australia and New Zealand, coupled with an automated solution. CEO of DataBench, Paul Muller says, “This is a new industry and one that DataBench is well-positioned in to lead across our markets.” In order to provide the best possible solution, the company believes in investing in the right technologies in order to bring about scalability and allow for growth as it expands as a business. It believes in developing quality solutions that allow its customers to gain the biggest benefits available to them and wrap that with skilled resources to support rapid adoption of its solutions and the ongoing support to ensure customers are always operational with its solutions. It also believes in ensuring that its solutions are always up-to-date with data privacy regulations and compliance, and as these change on the global stage that its solutions reflect the latest in Federal and State Legislation and Acts. DataBench also sees smart technology as important in automating business processes so it can help organisations to easily scan and find traces of personal information and privacy data across all their data sources and then automate consumer subject requests (such as Show Me My Data, Remove Me requests) to provide significant time, cost, and compliance savings to customers. Consistency is also key. DataBench is a small and dedicated team that works for its customers’ outcomes and they never give up. Their passion for quality and deliverable outcomes makes the company a trusted partner of choice. This comes with openness, honesty, and transparency. They take ownership, deliver results by being accountable for those results. They enjoy balance in their lives and treat all people, customers, partners, and suppliers as they would like to be treated. Clearly a team highly deserving of their success, Paul speaks on behalf of them when he says, “We are absolutely delighted to have been selected for this Small Business Award and we thank the editors at Corporate Vision for including us in the process.” Ultimately, DataBench may be a small business, but it is tackling new and emerging challenges for all businesses across Australia and New Zealand dealing in data privacy and compliance to ever-changing regulations. It plans to grow annually, with Paul telling us, “We are proud of our achievements to date. We have really only just stated our journey and the future is very promising for DataBench.” Company: DataBench Contact: Paul Muller Email: [email protected] Website: www.databench.com.au Sep22141 Best Automated Data Mapping & Privacy Management Solutions - Australasia
