Data protection made easy.

This brand new company needed help with designing a dashboard to show potential investors how the product would work.

Companies today struggle with data protection, and GDPR has not made it easier. There is also a lack of transparansy for investors to see how well companies in their porfolio are doing when it comes to data protection.

• Create a dashboard that works well for the users.
• Make a dashboard that potential investors can understand.

UX-designer and designer.

From the user research, I got the information that it was important to have an overview to easily see how the businesses are doing, and how to fix any security problems. I create personas and an empathy map when doing the research:

Personas:

I came up with two personas that I thought were the base users for this web app:

The investor. The investor wants to know about the data protection in the companies he/she have invested in. The investor need a quick overview on how things are going.

The lawyer. The laywer wants to know the specific problems about the companies data protection to be able to help fixing them.

• Workshops with the founder to get as much information about the company as possible.
• Find other dashboards on Dribbble, Behance and UpLabs to get inspiration.
• Use clear colors such as red for danger, yellow for warning and green for good.
• Accounts for the users to see the companies they have invested in.
• Add insights about the companies. This let’s the user see how the data protection is going for the specific company.
• A clear menu to the left where the user can navigate to different parts of the web app.

I had a lot of ideas about how it would work and feel. Here are some examples of the prototypes I made with pen & paper and then the one we liked the most as a digital mockup:

After a few iterations with the founder, I created a high-fidelity mockup in Sketch to be included in the pitch deck that was shown to the potential inverstors. I also replaced the pie chart after reading this.

• Improved my research skills.
• Found new websites for inspiration(uplabs.com, behance.net).
• Working with statistics and charts.
• Working with color patterns.
