1. A computer-implemented method of configuring data protection settings for data of an industrial system or an electric power system, the method comprising:
receiving information on processing operations that are to be performed on the data by a computing resource, the information on the processing operations specifying one or several algorithms or mathematical functions to be applied to the data;
analyzing the processing operations that are to be performed on the data by the computing resource;
generating a machine-readable representation of the processing operations;
automatically determining one or several privacy-preserving techniques to be applied to the data, the one or several privacy-preserving techniques being determined based on data privacy requirements for the data and the machine-readable representation of the processing operations to be performed on the data by the computing resource; and
automatically causing the determined one or several privacy-preserving techniques to be applied;
wherein the industrial system or the electric power system comprises at least one gateway via which the data are transmitted to the computing resource for processing and/or storing.
