Private by Design: Security, Consent & Compliance in InOne CRM

Your customers expect fast, AI-assisted service—without sacrificing privacy. InOne CRM is engineered “private by design,” so you can automate confidently while staying aligned to POPIA/GDPR and industry best practice. From consent flows to encryption and audit logs, controls are embedded at every step. Start here: Homepage.

1) What “private by design” means in practice

Privacy isn’t a switch—it’s an architecture. InOne CRM captures explicit consent with clear purpose statements, stores that consent with timestamps, and ties it to every downstream action (chat, voice, email, WhatsApp). Data is minimized to what’s necessary; sensitive fields can be masked or redacted in views. Encryption protects data in transit and at rest, while role-based access ensures only the right people see the right records. See how it rolls up in InOne CRM.

2) A compliant, real-world workflow

1. Intake with consent: A chatbot or WhatsApp form presents purpose-specific opt-ins (e.g., “demo scheduling,” “product updates”), records consent, and stores legal bases.

2. Secure enrichment: Lead details sync into the CRM with field-level permissions; sensitive items (ID/passport numbers, medical info, etc.) can be auto-masked in lists.

3. AI caller transparency: The AI caller announces who’s calling and why, honors quiet hours and DNC, and logs recordings or summaries with consent markers.

4. Granular access: Sales sees context; Finance sees invoices; Support sees ticket history—each via role-based views and 2FA-protected logins.

5. Automated hygiene: Retention rules archive or delete stale data; suppression lists and opt-out logic stop unwanted sends; every change is written to an audit trail.

3) Guardrails: consent, control, and audits

• Consent lifecycle: Collect, refresh, and revoke—each step is traceable. Opt-outs propagate instantly across channels.

• User rights: Data subject requests (access, rectification, deletion) are managed from one place with SLA timers and owner tasks.

• Secure by default: TLS in transit, modern encryption at rest, and optional KMS/HSM integration. 2FA and device-aware sessions reduce account risk.

• Least privilege: Roles, teams, and field-level controls prevent oversharing; admin actions are logged.

• Vendor diligence: Integration tokens are scoped and rotated; webhooks use signed secrets.

• Human-in-the-loop: Complex or sensitive cases escalate to a human owner with full context and a tamper-evident timeline.

4) Measure what matters (security & trust KPIs)

• Consent coverage & freshness: % of contacts with valid purpose-specific consent and average age of consent.

• DSR turnaround: Median hours to respond/close access or deletion requests.

• Incident & access anomalies: Failed logins, blocked IPs, off-hours access.

• 2FA adoption: % of active users with 2FA enabled.

• Data minimization: Sensitive-field exposure across roles.

• Opt-out reliability: Bounce/complaint rate and time-to-suppress across channels.
  Track these trends in Reporting & Analytics to prove compliance and improve posture over time.
