Table 1: Advantages and disadvantages of IIoT devices. contributing to maintaining trust, compliance with regulations, and the sustainable growth of industrial sectors. This research endeavors to address several key aspects concerning the privacy requirements within an IIoT ecosystem, particularly in relation to the processing of personal data by competent authorities. Specifically, the research questions addressed in this study are:  
What are the specific industrial privacy requirements within an IIoT ecosystem, particularly in relation to the processing of personal data by competent authorities? 1. What are the existing approaches and solutions used to mitigate privacy risks in industrial settings? 2. How can privacy dimensions be identified and defined to safeguard individuals within the IIoT ecosystem? What are the different aspects or components of privacy that should be considered? 3. What are the contemporary techniques, technologies, and best practices employed to ensure data privacy and security in IIoT systems within industrial environments? 4. How can organizations establish an ideal, safe, and private IIoT ecosystem within the industrial domain? 5. What considerations and factors need to be taken into account to create a secure environment within the industrial domain while adhering to relevant industry standards? 6. What are the recommendations for implementing privacy-enhancing measures in IIoT systems to effectively manage privacy risks and ensure compliance with relevant regulations? By addressing these research questions, the study aims to provide insights into the challenges and strategies for maintaining industrial privacy within the context of IIoT ecosystems. It also seeks to offer guidance to organizations in enhancing data protection measures, thereby fostering trust, compliance, and sustainable growth within the industrial sectors. In summary, this study makes the following significant contributions to understanding and implementing the IIoT in the industrial context:
