ePrivacy advises companies on the use of AI by implementing AI policies. To this end, information is collected on the use of individual AI tools and how they are used within the organisation. The aim is to assess whether a tool falls within the scope of the AI Act and to determine the legal obligations that apply.
ePrivacy monitors and coordinates all security-related processes, including drawing up and implementing security concepts and investigating security incidents.
ePrivacy takes on the tasks of the internal reporting office under Section 13 HinSchG (German Whistleblower Protection Act) and offers the external service of an ombudsperson. As part of this, ePrivacy sets up a whistleblowing system within the company, including reporting channels and the necessary software.
