ANYVA revolutionises the way data protection management systems (DSMS) are structured. While traditional DSMSs are form-based and maintain isolated processing records (VVT), ANYVA maps data protection completely process-based. This means that processing activities are not recorded manually, but are systematically derived from the actual business processes.

This architecture enables consistent and redundancy-free data management. Technical and organisational measures (TOMs), data categories, legal bases, earmarking and recipients automatically follow the process logic. This eliminates duplicate entries and contradictions in the VVT. More importantly, data protection impact assessments (DPIAs) are based directly on the recorded processes, the associated risks and the current TOM situation - not on subsequently created documents.

This structural innovation ensures that data protection is not perceived as an administrative overhead, but as an integral part of corporate management. Every change in the process is automatically reflected in all relevant data protection documents.

In conventional data protection management systems, technical and organisational measures (TOMs) are kept as static, text-heavy lists. Each processing activity, each document and each DPIA contains a separate TOM list - often inconsistent and outdated.

ANYVA breaks with this outdated approach. In ANYVA, each TOM exists once in the system as a centrally managed element. These TOMs are assigned to different contexts via assignment: Processes, data types, systems, DSFAs. Every change to a TOM - be it an update of the effectiveness, a new version or an addition - automatically affects all associated elements: all processes, all data types, all DSFAs, all risk assessments.

This means that if an encryption method is strengthened, the protective effect is updated immediately in all affected processes. If a new access concept is introduced, it takes effect immediately in all relevant DSFAs. The AI-supported plausibility check continuously monitors whether the TOMs are complete, whether they are appropriate to the risks and whether there are any gaps.

No other DSMS on the market offers this level of dynamism and consistency. It drastically reduces the maintenance effort and at the same time increases the quality and traceability of the protective measures.

Automatic risk assessment

In many systems, data protection impact assessments (DPIAs) are isolated documents that have to be created and maintained manually. ANYVA fully integrates the DSFA logic into the process and data management system.
Risk model. 

Risks arise automatically from the interlinking:
Process → Data → Categories → Impacts → Probabilities of occurrence → TOMs - not only in the DSFA but already in the VVT!

Changes in the process, in the processed data or in the TOMs automatically affect the DPIA assessment. If a TOM is removed or a new data category is added, the risk in
in real time. Even more unique: attack scenarios from the integrated ISMS can influence data protection risks. If a technical risk is identified in the ISMS - such as a vulnerability in the
authentication - this flows directly into the DPIA assessment.

This bridge between information security and data protection is a unique selling point. Conventional DSMSs manage DSFA, TOMs and risks as separate silos. ANYVA merges them into one
consistent risk model. This means

- IT security risks automatically affect data protection risks
- TOM changes update both worlds simultaneously
- Attack scenarios and vulnerabilities are taken into account in the DPIA
- Risk management is holistic, not fragmented

The result: more precise risk assessments, shorter response times, fewer blind spots. ANYVA turns data protection and information security into an integrated governance approach.

Traditional DSMSs are isolated and technically blind. They do not recognise IT risks, vulnerabilities or asset dependencies. ANYVA breaks through this isolation with a standardised data model that combines data protection, information security, risk management and asset management in one system.

Implementation of accountability. ANYVA documents every decision with complete origin and justification: every legal basis, every purpose, every deletion deadline, every TOM update, every risk change. Changes have a system-wide effect and the history is preserved without gaps.

Auditors and supervisory authorities have access to the entire chain of reasoning: Why was this legal basis chosen? Who authorised the DPIA? What TOM changes were made? 

Many DSMSs only store the current version - ANYVA retains the complete, tamper-proof version.
Version history. This audit trail is crucial for the obligation to provide evidence in accordance with Art. 5 para. 2 GDPR (accountability). It documents not only what was decided, but also when and by whom.

While conventional solutions manage assets in isolated lists, ANYVA thinks in terms of business processes. This fundamental difference means:

- Contextual risk assessment: Vulnerabilities are not considered in isolation, but are assessed in the context of their impact on critical business processes
- Automatic dependency detection: The platform understands which assets support which processes and how risks propagate through process chains
- Prioritisation according to business impact: It is not the number of CVEs that decides, but the criticality of the business processes affected
- Holistic compliance view: regulatory requirements are mapped at process level, not to individual systems

Automatic CVE risk update:
Always up-to-date, always protected!

04 Risk recalculation
The overall risk profile is updated automatically, taking all dependencies into account

05 Proactive notification
Critical changes trigger immediate warnings to defined stakeholders

While other solutions rely on weekly or monthly updates, ANYVA guarantees that your risk profile is never more than 60 minutes out of date. In today's threat landscape, where zero-day exploits appear within hours, this timeliness isn't just a feature - it's a necessity.

All 93 controls integrated

ANYVA maps the complete ISO 27001:2022 - not as a static checklist, but as a living framework:

- requirements are stored in full: Each control contains a set of precise requirements in German and English

- TOM linking: Technical and organisational measures are directly linked to the corresponding controls

- Automatic gap analysis: ANYVA automatically identifies gaps between target and actual values and determines resilience to attack scenarios

- Evidence management integrated: Evidence can be stored and versioned directly for each control

- Audit-ready reports: Statement of Applicability (SoA), evidence and other audit documents are generated automatically

This architecture enables groups to establish a consistent security baseline across all subsidiaries, while local teams retain the flexibility to address specific requirements. For Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs), the architecture offers the ability to efficiently manage hundreds of customers without mixing data or configurations. Client separation takes place at database level and fulfils the highest security and data protection requirements. Each client can be configured independently - from colour schemes to specific compliance frameworks

ANYVA's integrated AI engine continuously analyses your security landscape and generates intelligent suggestions:

- TOM derivation: Appropriate technical and organisational measures are automatically suggested based on identified risks and vulnerabilities

- Control mapping: The AI assigns measures to relevant ISO 27001 controls

- Requirements extraction: Concrete, realisable requirements are derived from regulatory texts

- Prioritisation logic: Based on risk assessment, business context and available resources, the AI suggests implementation priorities

This functionality transforms abstract threats into concrete instructions for action. Instead of asking „Are we secure?“, you can analyse precisely: „How effective are our controls against a ransomware attack via phishing?“ The answer is data-based, comprehensible and includes clear suggestions for improvement.

This means for audits and management reporting: You can not only show that controls have been implemented, but also demonstrate their effectiveness against specific threat scenarios.

The „state of the art“ is a moving target and one of the most complex requirements in IT security and data protection. Companies must prove that their measures correspond to the current state of the art - a manual process that can take months.

ANYVA solves this problem through continuous, automated verification:

- Reference frameworks integrated: BSI-Grundschutz, ISO 27001, NIST CSF and other standards are stored
- Automatic synchronisation: Your implemented measures are continuously checked against current recommendations
- Gap visualisation: deviations from the state of the art are immediately visible
- Versioned documentation: Every decision, every measure is documented with a time stamp and justification
