Why TOMs Matter for Companies

Technical and organizational measures protect personal data from loss, unauthorized access, and other security risks. This takes more than secure systems — it also requires clear policies, trained employees, and documented processes.

The checklist helps you evaluate existing measures and identify important gaps early on.

What the Checklist Covers

  • Technical security measures
  • Organizational data protection processes
  • Data protection impact assessment and data minimization
  • Data protection management and risk assessment
  • Responsibilities and regular checks
"Effective TOMs are built on the interplay of technology, clear processes, and shared responsibility."

Who Is This Checklist For?

For managing directors, data protection officers, IT teams, and operations leads who want to review their data protection and security measures in a structured way.

Conclusion

TOMs need to match your company's actual risk and data processing. What matters is that measures aren't just defined but regularly reviewed and improved.
