What is it?
Data Mapping is a comprehensive process that involves identifying, documenting, and visualizing the flow of data throughout your organization.
This essential service enables organizations to understand how data is collected, processed, stored, and shared across various systems and departments.
By gaining clarity on data flows, organizations can better manage compliance obligations, mitigate risks, and enhance data governance.
Our Process
1
Data Inventory
Asset Identification: We perform a thorough inventory of all data assets within your organization. This includes databases, applications, file systems, and third-party services to identify what data is collected and processed.
Data Classification: Each data asset is categorized based on its type (e.g., personal data, sensitive data, operational data) and assessed for its criticality and regulatory requirements.
2
Flow Mapping
Visual Representation: Our expert team creates detailed visual maps that illustrate the pathways data takes as it moves through your systems and processes. This includes data entry points, transformations, storage locations, and output channels.
Stakeholder Engagement: We collaborate with key stakeholders to ensure the accuracy of data flows, capturing insights on how data is utilized across different functions and identifying any potential bottlenecks or vulnerabilities.
3
Documentation
Comprehensive Reporting: We compile our findings into a detailed data map, which serves as a foundational document for your compliance efforts. This report includes visual diagrams, descriptions of data handling practices, and the regulatory context for each data type.
Actionable Insights: The documentation also highlights areas for improvement and best practices for data management, aiding in your compliance strategy.
