A Renowned UK Tier-1 Bank Reduced Data-Sharing Approval Time Using Global Data Privacy Platform

Challenges

The bank faced growing challenges in managing global data-sharing processes and ensuring compliance across jurisdictions:

• Data sharing approvals were highly manual, time-consuming, and fragmented across systems.
• Compliance with multiple regional data protection regulations (UK GDPR, CCPA, etc.) created operational complexity.
• Lack of a standardized global mechanism for reviewing, approving, and tracking data-sharing activities.
• Increasing regulatory scrutiny around personal and non-personal information governance.

Solution

Coforge partnered with the client to design and implement DataVisa — a unified global data privacy platform to automate approvals, enforce compliance, and simplify cross-border data management:

• Developed on Spring Boot and GCP, leveraging scalable and secure cloud infrastructure.
• Enabled PI and Non-PI data approval workflows, ensuring traceability of end-to-end sharing activity.
• Integrated multiple enterprise data sources (Archer, Fusion, MyPeap, DAO, EUC, etc.) with centralized storage on Google BigQuery.
• Delivered continuous enhancements through an agile, 50-member development team with weekly feature releases.
• Implemented step-by-step approval guides, audit trails, and metadata capture for transparent governance.

The Impact

• Established one standard global tool for quick, consistent approval of data sharing across jurisdictions.
• Ensured full compliance with UK GDPR and regional privacy regulations, including the CCPA.
• Improved data capture and process transparency across business lines.
• Reduced approval time through automated workflows and simplified sign-off processes.
• Delivered a guided, compliant approach to securing approvals globally.
