Data Mapping

Data Mapping

Data mapping is the system of cataloging the data collected by an organization, how that data is used, stored and processed, and how that data travels within and beyond an organization. A fundamental requirement of any privacy regulation is understanding what personal information is being collected, how it is processed and where it is stored.

This sets the baseline from which to assess privacy risks, ensure the safekeeping and fair use of personal data, and handle requests from data subjects and regulators in a timely fashion.
