With great data comes great risk, and under the UK GDPR, it’s crucial that companies have a solid grasp on their data, its source and its use.
As a result, data mapping and audits are key components of achieving data protection compliance. We dig into what data your business collects and the systems you share it with to produce a data map or a Record Of Processing Activities (ROPA).
Examples of when audits and data mapping is needed
Review your data security
Spot any compliance gaps in your data to avoid any data breaches, fines and time-costly issues for your business.
Confidence in your data
Business decisions are increasingly driven by analytics, which is why it's critical that teams have full confidence in their data and its accuracy.
Preparing your business for sale or investment
Any investor or buyer will benchmark your processes against your competition and will look at your data processes during the due diligence process.
Respond to data subject access requests (DSARs)
If a website visitor were to complete a DSAR today, do you know how to locate all the data you hold on that individual? Can you articulate the purpose of each piece of data collected and which legal allowance justifies it?
