Ikea required a solution to automate and centralize governance across thousands of digital systems worldwide. The Metal Model platform was engineered to assess business criticality, data sensitivity, privacy risk, and compliance requirements for every IT system, classifying assets by risk categories (Platinum/Gold/Silver/Bronze). This approach provided leadership, security, and regulatory teams with contextual recommendations and tracked milestones for every initiative. Advanced integration with global tools and dashboards enabled real-time oversight, cohesive risk management, and clear project accountability.

Challenges

Challenges included mapping extensive system inventory, accommodating diverse regulatory frameworks, and architecting for global scalability. Building dynamic dashboards for role-based access, deep analytics, and reporting to serve executives, IT, and compliance teams required robust backend infrastructure. Integration with third-party platforms, such as OneTrust and AD, demanded secure, interoperable APIs and data pipes. Ensuring accuracy in automated risk assessments and contextual recommendations required continuous model tuning and stakeholder feedback.

 

Process

Engineers collaborated with IKEA’s security, compliance, and IT teams to establish a master inventory, business rules, and data flows. Backend developers built the assessment engine and classification workflows, while frontend teams designed contextual dashboards. Integration teams connected the platform to OneTrust, Active Directory, and legacy data repositories. QA and compliance pilots validated assessment accuracy and reporting features. Iterative development and multi-stakeholder feedback shaped progress tracking, milestone visualization, and integration protocols.
