What's Involved

Feel free to reach out to us and discuss your needs.

Schedule Your Consultation

Schedule an initial consultation with our privacy experts to outline your data mapping and inventory needs. During this meeting, we will discuss your organization's unique challenges and goals, providing you with a tailored overview of how we can solve the problem around data mapping.

Identifying Data Sources and Classify Data

We start of by identitying data sources that hold and use personal information. These may include - HR, finance, sales, marketing, and IT to name a few. Then a data classification is employed to gain a clear understanding of where customer data and other sensitive information reside, who has access to it, and how it is processed. This approach enables companies to enhance their data management practices and apply appropriate safeguards and access controls.

Map Data Flows

This step involved identifying and mapping data flows and match different source data fields to their destination fields so there’s alignment between the two.

Assess Risk

After mapping data flows, it’s essential to assess the risks associated with the collected data and implement secure data management practices. Evaluate various data sources to ensure that all third-party app integrations can adequately protect sensitive information.

Continuous Maintenance & Monitoring

Data maps are dynamic and require ongoing maintenance, updates, and adjustments as new data sources are added or modified. An accurate data map leads to a precise Record of Processing Activities (RoPA), as mandated by GDPR’s Article 30. RoPAs must be consistently updated in line with the evolving data maps.

Commonly Asked Questions

FAQ

Find answers to common questions about our Data Mapping service.

The output of the Data Mapping exercise is called a RoPA (Record of Processing Activities) which is mandatory as per Article 30 of the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

While data mapping visually represents how data flows within an organization, a data inventory is a detailed list of all the data assets an organization holds, including the type of data, its location, and how it’s used.

Data maps should be reviewed and updated regularly, especially when there are significant changes in data processing activities, system upgrades, or changes in regulatory requirements. Keeping the data map current ensures ongoing compliance and effective risk management.

While data mapping can be done in-house, working with a consultant can provide expertise, efficiency, and ensure that the mapping process aligns with best practices and regulatory requirements from an independent angle. Consultants can also help in developing sustainable and repeatable processes for maintaining your data map.
