Unstructured data is everywhere. Around 80% of all the data in your organisation is unstructured. This is creating major challenges for security, efficiency and regulatory compliance.
Unstructured data is content generated by people. It’s fundamentally very different from the structured data found in databases and needs to be managed differently.
Unstructured data includes emails, letters, documents, social media content, images, audio and video recordings, presentations, and webpages. These data types obviously include a large amount of business-critical and valuable information.
Organisations are reporting a number of significant challenges in achieving an end-to-end DSAR solution, including:
Increasing volume
Unstructured content is rapidly accelerating in velocity and variety; with data volume doubling every two years*.
Complexity
Unstructured data increasingly comes in new forms and from many more sources. This puts pressure on legacy storage systems which don’t cope well with new data types.
Maintaining compliance
Increased data protection regulations (e.g. the GDPR) create compliance obligations. Non-compliance implies very real risks of financial penalties and reputational damage.
Data repositories
Cloud migration and efficient resource allocation means organising and minimising data before moving it to tiered storage. To do this you need a clear and complete understanding what data you have, where it is held and its value.

Do we just need some new policies?
Compliance with the GDPR means properly designing and documenting compliant systems, procedures and processes which ensure the protection of personal data. This starts with executive ownership of the responsibility for personal data and will also entail training, good record keeping and the review of working practices.
The law has new requirements regarding the use of consent and how it should be obtained. To ensure individuals are being treated fairly, consent must be freely given and individuals fully informed. It is not acceptable to rely on silence or inactivity as consent.
It is definitely not enough to publish a policy which describes the intent to comply with GDPR.
Compliant procedures, systems and training are essential to GDPR.
