TMA World is a rapidly growing scale-up known for its innovative learning SaaS platform, delivering over 3,000 learning programs across five continents and in 14 languages. This significant expansion has brought with it an increase in platform users, clients, and, consequently, data, all of which necessitate stringent data protection measures and GDPR compliance to safeguard against cyber threats and meet regulatory requirements.
TMA World's enterprise customers, especially those operating within the EU, now require compliance with regulations such as GDPR. Additionally, they request detailed and lengthy due diligence questionnaires to ensure that their partners and customers have the necessary measures to handle data securely and in accordance with the applicable data privacy regulations. Demonstrating compliance and completing these due diligence questionnaires often becomes a bottleneck to winning new deals and securing new contacts.
As TMA World's scale and scope expanded, so did the complexity of managing GDPR compliance and ensuring data security. The primary challenge was achieving comprehensive GDPR compliance and enhancing data security swiftly and efficiently, without the traditional hurdles of extensive paperwork, operational disruptions, long implementation times or the high costs associated with hiring external consultants. Additionally, with each new enterprise customer came the demand for strict compliance and data security standards, making it crucial for TMA World to find a solution that could scale with its growth while meeting these stringent requirements.
