How to Build a GDPR-Ready Workflow in Confluence
Introduction:
Confluence is where your team collaborates, documents, and shares. It’s also where personal data can quietly accumulate—without anyone realizing.
That’s why teams looking to become GDPR-compliant are taking a closer look at how they manage content inside Confluence.
With the Data Protection and Security Toolkit, you can embed data privacy directly into your documentation workflow—without slowing your team down.
Typical GDPR Risks in Confluence
-
PII in meeting notes or employee directories
-
Old user data in onboarding docs
-
Internal system screenshots with names/emails
-
Past collaboration pages that were never reviewed
