Data Discovery Map, manage, and secure your data To remain compliant with data privacy regulations and legislation, your organization needs to answer the following questions:Which processing operations present higher data protection risk?How does my organization currently comply with regulatory obligations?Is my organization in compliance with the regulation?If we are in compliance, how can we prove it?If we are not in compliance, how and when do we plan to achieve compliance?Do we have a good understanding of where our data is and how it flows through our internal systems?A key step toward formulating the answers to these questions lies in identifying and mapping sensitive and personal data and outlining the priority risks unique to your organization.Data discovery helps your organization identify risks and secure information by giving you the insight to understand how personal data flows throughout the organization. Additionally, data discovery provides the framework to support breach notifications and respond to data requests (e.g., delete, correct, access).

Protiviti helps build the foundations of a strong but flexible privacy program Our Comprehensive Approach to Data Privacy Data privacy regulations are in flux globally. Even as companies put the finishing touches on extensive preparations to comply with applicable privacy laws, such as the European Union’s GDPR and California’s Consumer Privacy Act, new regulations continue to be introduced in other countries. As legislators pass new laws, they continuously amend those already in effect. Data privacy regulations are not static.The problem and proposed solutions are complex and evolving. One thing is almost certain—anyone aiming to comply with a specific regulation with a target date in mind will be disappointed as those near-term obligations are supplanted by new and different rules over the mid and long-term.In response to this changing landscape, Protiviti applies a holistic framework that addresses the fundamental aspects of data privacy without being locked into any one specific compliance format.
