Data & More by Industry
Tailored privacy automation for your sector
Data & More helps organizations across aviation, healthcare, finance, education, energy, and beyond simplify data protection. Our platform scans and classifies sensitive information, enables secure verification and deletion, and delivers real-time oversight—so you stay compliant with confidence.
1. Aviation
Airlines and aviation service providers manage vast amounts of passenger data every day, from booking details and payment information to passport scans and biometric identifiers. While central booking systems are generally secure, personal data often flows into unstructured systems such as emails, spreadsheets, and shared drives. GDPR requires lawful retention and minimization of all personal data, but without automation, aviation organizations struggle to meet these obligations.
One of the most pressing risks is retention beyond necessity. Old passenger lists, scanned IDs, and payment documents often remain in archives long after their purpose has expired. In the event of a breach, such outdated documents could amplify reputational harm and regulatory penalties. Airlines also operate globally, facing overlapping international privacy requirements that add complexity.
The Data & More Privacy & Security Platform addresses these challenges by continuously scanning across mail, OneDrive, SharePoint, and file shares to locate sensitive information. Its classification engine detects travel IDs, passport numbers, and payment data across multiple languages and formats. Verification workflows engage staff to confirm which data is still required, while Data Deletion policies enforce GDPR Deletions of unnecessary documents. Compliance dashboards provide aviation executives with real-time oversight, making it easier to demonstrate GDPR compliance. For aviation companies, Data & More ensures reduced risk, enhanced regulatory accountability, and greater passenger trust.
2. Agriculture, Forestry, and Fishing
Agriculture, forestry, and fishing organizations may not be considered data-intensive industries, but they handle significant volumes of personal data: seasonal worker contracts, health certificates, payroll details, and supplier agreements. Much of this information is circulated via email or stored in local drives without proper governance. GDPR requires lawful retention and minimization, but resource constraints and manual processes make compliance difficult.The seasonal nature of the workforce poses a unique challenge. Documents such as ID copies or work permits are often collected and then stored indefinitely. Over time, these outdated files accumulate, creating unnecessary liabilities. Without automation, organizations rarely review or remove these documents, increasing the risk of breaches and non-compliance.
Data & More provides a solution by automating discovery, classification, and minimization. Its continuous scanning locates personal data across unstructured systems, while verification workflows engage managers to confirm which files must be retained. GDPR Deletion processes ensure outdated documents are removed through secure, auditable Data Deletions.

3. Automotive
Automotive manufacturers, dealerships, and service providers handle a broad spectrum of personal data: financing applications, insurance claims, driver’s license scans, and employee documents. CRM and ERP systems manage some of this data, but large volumes still end up in emails, PDFs, and file shares. GDPR requires accountability and minimization, yet outdated customer and employee files often remain accessible long after their lawful retention period.
The industry faces rising risks. First, regulatory compliance: old financing documents or scanned IDs may remain in archives for decades. Second, cybersecurity: ransomware attacks on automotive companies are increasing, and breaches involving legacy data amplify damage. Trust is central to the automotive brand, and mishandling customer data can erode confidence.

11. Energy Supply
Energy companies handle sensitive customer data including billing details, meter readings, financial identifiers, and employee or contractor information. They also face dual obligations under NIS2 and GDPR, as they are part of critical infrastructure.
Much of this data flows through emails, shared drives, and legacy platforms that lack structured privacy governance. GDPR requires lawful retention, minimization, and accountability for all personal data. Yet many utilities and energy suppliers retain outdated contracts, billing files, and ID documents far longer than necessary, increasing risk exposure.
The biggest challenge is the accumulation of legacy documents. With millions of customers, even a small amount of unmanaged data represents a major liability. In the event of a breach, outdated files such as old billing statements or scanned IDs could amplify damage and undermine public trust. Regulators are also increasing scrutiny of how utilities protect personal data.
The Data & More Privacy & Security Platform addresses these challenges by scanning across mail, OneDrive, SharePoint, and file shares to identify sensitive personal data.

Verification workflows engage employees and custodians to confirm which documents are still required, while GDPR Deletion rules enforce automated Data Deletions of redundant files. Compliance dashboards provide utility executives with real-time oversight of GDPR exposure, making accountability demonstrable to both regulators and customers.
12. Wholesale
Wholesale distributors manage customer data, supplier contracts, and employee documents across large supply chains. Sensitive information often accumulates in unstructured systems such as email archives and shared folders. GDPR requires secure handling and timely deletion of this information, but without automation, wholesale businesses struggle to enforce compliance consistently.
A key risk in wholesale is the long-term storage of supplier and customer contracts containing personal data such as contact information and payment identifiers. Over years, these documents pile up in file shares without systematic removal, creating liabilities in the event of a breach. At the same time, wholesale organizations must remain agile and cost-efficient, leaving little room for manual compliance processes.
Data & More is an ideal solution for wholesale because it automates compliance without disrupting daily operations.
