Data Protection Day 2025

On January 28th 2025, we are celebrating the European Data Protection Day — a day that reminds us how important it is to protect personal and business data in our connected world. For PSsytec GmbH, data security is not just a principle, but a daily obligation, which we implement in all our solutions. Our technologies, led by SMARTbox, combine innovation with maximum data security — for a smarter, more sustainable future.

Why Data Protection Day is so important

Progressive digitization not only brings new opportunities, but also challenges. Data is the backbone of modern technologies, but it is also vulnerable to misuse. Data Protection Day highlights the need for privacy policies and security measures that build trust and promote progress.

The SMARTbox: The base of our solutions

Our SMARTbox is more than just a gateway — it is a base that serves as a central interface for all our IoT solutions. With plug & play functionality, seamless integration and comprehensive security architecture, it is the basis of modern digital processes.

SMARTbix advantages:

• Flexibility: Adaptable to various industries and applications.
• Data security: Developed to the highest standards, including Deutsche Telekom's Privacy and Security Assessment (PSA).
• Scalability: Supports a wide range of solutions that can be adapted to specific requirements.

Privacy and Security Assessment (PSA) — security at the highest level

Deutsche Telekom's Privacy and Security Assessment (PSA) is an audit process that ensures that our products meet the highest data protection and security requirements. This is particularly important at a time when IoT solutions are generating and processing more and more data.

PSA in detail:

1. Early identification of risks: Identification of potential weak points
2. Privacy-friendly design: Data processing in accordance with the “privacy by design” principle
3. Encrypted communication: Protect sensitive information with AES-256 encryption
4. Testing and certification: Ensuring that legal requirements, such as the GDPR, are met
