Mapping Data Processing Activity
Helping %company% keep an evergreen map of your data
While many privacy regulations, including GDPR, CPRA, LGPD, PDPA, and POPIA explicitly require a data map or record of processing activities (ROPA) for compliance, having one in place also enables organizations to mitigate risk and effectively govern data use. With 90% of all the data in the world generated in the last two years alone, big data has become a big problem.
Understanding how data is flowing through your organization is a prerequisite to being able to establish trust. A robust data map helps with essential privacy program obligations, such as fulfilling data subject requests, identifying data and individuals after a breach, populating PIAs, and generating compliance reports. Traditionally populated through manual tasks such as assessments and data entry, an automated data map increases accuracy.
How OneTrust helpsData Mapping Automation creates a thorough map of your IT assets, processing activities, vendors, the relationships between them, and how personal data is processed within each. This map is automatically generated through AI-driven data discovery and classification, which surfaces both the business and regulatory context of the data, and is supplemented through assessments and input from business subject matter experts. This enables automated risk flagging, policy enforcement, and compliance reporting to drive privacy compliance and automated data governance.
