Understanding the journey of personal data within the organisation.
What is data mapping?
Visualize the flow, processing and location of all personal information you hold.
Data mapping is a fundamental step in designing your DSAR response process, assessing privacy risks and maintaining GDPR compliance.
This process is designed so that the organisation clearly understands:
- what personal data is being collected
- where and how it flows
- how it is processed
- where and how it is stored
Data mapping is used to apply governance, classification and protection to personal data. This ensures that all relevant data can be located, identified and produced in response to DSAR requests.
