The Internet under the COVID-19 has brought more revolutionary changes to global trade and data flows. It tears apart national boundaries and further promotes exchanges and trade on a global scale. In this context, data privacy issues have been paid more attention, especially in the context of the epidemic situation, trade data privacy relying on digital transformation enterprises needs to be regulated and controlled. Taking an industrial company in Xiamen as an example, this article conducts online and offline research on companies through literature research and expert interviews, and refers to the Intel privacy maturity model, and constructs 12 indicators in three areas: platform risks, corporate behaviors, and external threats, so as to apply the data privacy maturity of an industrial enterprise in Xiamen. Empirical evidence shows that the maturity of data privacy of this enterprise is in the intermediate stage of institutionalization, and the overall maturity needs to be further developed in the field of adjusting enterprise behavior and preventing external threats. This evaluation system has good applicability to the data privacy issues of digital transformation companies under the epidemic, and can provide reference for the development of corporate data privacy maturity in the domestic manufacturing industry.
