How Vanquis Banking Group transformed its privacy strategy with OneTrust

Summary: Vanquis, british bank specializing in financial inclusion with more than 2.4 million customers, implemented OneTrust to automate their processes of privacy. Today, with data mapping, automatic evaluations, management of rights of persons and third-party control in a single system.

The challenge

The arrival of the GDPR exposed manual processes and fragmented in Vanquis. Lacked:

  • A repository unified treatment records of data.
  • Flows automatically to requests for access or deletion of data.
  • Centralized visibility on providers that manage data.

This made it difficult to comply with regulatory requirements, to efficiently respond to headlines and reduce legal risks.

The solution

To modernize its privacy program, Vanquis chose OneTrust and implemented:

  • Data Mapping: to identify and track personal data in the whole group.
  • Assessment Automation: to automate privacy impact assessments (PIA/DPIA).
  • Data Subject Rights Automation: to respond to requests of the holders.
  • Third-Party Risk Management: to evaluate and monitor suppliers that handle data.
