How Data Discovery helps you comply with The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
Article 5.1.c - Data minimisation: Identifies old and redundant personal data across systems, making it easy to get rid of (i.e., minimise) data that is no longer needed, in line with the principle of minimisation.
Article 5.1.e - Storage limitation: Continuously monitors for GDPR data that is kept for longer than allowed by the specified retention policies. This ensures ongoing review of personal data, aiding in timely deletion.
Article 5.2 - Accountability: An accurate, up-to-date inventory and overview of personal data supports Data Controllers in documenting GDPR compliance and maintaining accountability across processing activities.
Article 30.1.c - Categories of personal data: Automatically discovers and classifies personal data by category, contributing to the creation and maintenance of compliant records of processing activities.
Article 30.1.f - Time limits for erasure: Notifies the appropriate owner about personal data that has exceeded retention rules, and supports enforcement of deletion through an easy-to-use portal for employees.
Article 32.1.d - Regular testing for effectiveness: Assists in uncovering wrongfully stored and old GDPR data, helping with the ongoing assessments of data protection controls and awareness initiatives, surfacing areas that need attention.
