Given the fact that three-quarters of global organizations are unable to comply with privacy regulations, the challenges and costs to operationalize effective global privacy standards is one of the most significant challenges to IT and legal departments in a generation. Our privacy by design approach goes beyond theory to develop proactive and interoperable systems, which leverage robotic process automation, machine learning, and artificial intelligence so that privacy and security are not an additional burden but integral to business as usual operations.
Key Principles of Data Privacy:
Key Principles of Data Privacy:
|
Purpose Limitation
- Purposes for processing have been identified and documented. - Data subjects are notified if those purposes change. Data Minimization - Only collect personal data required for a specified purpose. - Periodically review and delete what is not needed. Accuracy - Maintain an accurate audit of the facts, purposes and sources. - Be prepared to respond to challenges of accuracy or overcollection. |
Storage Limitation
- Retain or hold personal data only as long as necessary. - Comply with "the right to be forgotten" or anonymize accordingly. Integrity and Confidentiality - Ensure viability of data over its entire life cycle - Ensure security measures can protect personal data Lawfulness, Fairness, and Transparency - Conditions for processing are fair and lawful. - Conditions have been made clear with data subjects |
Audits and Assessments
First and foremost, it is necessary to conduct regular audits to establish a realistic assessment as to what degree an organization is meeting, or failing to meet, key privacy standards.
Data Mapping and Data Visibility
Organizations are expected to maintain detailed, up-to-date records of processing activities and systems. And as you cannot manage what you cannot map, we utilize several different platforms for automated data mapping, which enables businesses to visualize the entire data lifecycle, while maintaining an evergreen data inventory.
Policies and Procedures
We maintain an evergreen database which includes privacy laws and requirements for every country on the planet, whether subject to GDPR or local restrictions. We then meticulously audit our procedures to ensure they are appropriately operationalized to comply with current and future privacy requirements.
Proportionality
This is a crucial principle in law and data protection, which applies to each and every project, whether responding to legal or regulatory requests or processing personal data to satisfy GDPR or CCPA requirements. The concept as stated by the European Union is that the "advantages due to limiting the right are not outweighed by the disadvantages to exercise the right." In other words, the energy and expense of satisfying requirements should not exceed the purpose and scope.
