Another new feature is the "TOM Self-Check Recommended" questionnaire (232 questions), which is based on the good practice template of the Bavarian State Office for Data Protection Supervision. You can also set the release status, document status and validity period here.

In the next step you can define the name of the TOM questionnaire, as well as determine the associated department and the responsible contact. With Save | Exit the TOM questionnaire is created and you can answer and rate the questions, provided that your user is assigned to the corresponding rights group.

Once the TOM questionnaire has been created, you can answer the questions. Click on the questions to start answering. For the data protection officers, a field for evaluation with free text field is stored here.
