With the General Data Protection Law (LGPD), the shift in data processing culture and compliance comes into focus. Conducting a detailed mapping of the data your company collects, as well as how it is processed, is essential. It's necessary to know everything from where the data is stored and who has access to it, to its disposal and any potential sharing.
How can this task be made easier? Through data mapping management and automation. Using a map that shows the flow of data within the organization, it's possible to have a unified view of the company's inventory.
Automation
With a quick Google search, you'll find automation being defined as:A system that uses automated processes to command and control mechanisms for its own operation.In other words, a system that uses computerized or mechanical techniques aimed at optimizing time, reducing costs, and focusing on the quality of what is being produced.
Benefits of using automation
- – To improve the productivity of a company and its departments by increasing production, managing data, and tracking the results achieved;
- – Reduce production costs and increase quality;
- – To improve people's working conditions by eliminating repetitive, manual tasks and increasing safety;
- – To perform operations that would be impossible to control intellectually or manually;
- – To improve the availability of information so that it can be provided at the right time and in the right format;
- – To simplify operation and maintenance so that the operator does not need to have extensive expertise in handling the system.
But how does automation fit within the Privacy Tools compliance management platform?
Data mapping is an activity that demands a significant amount of time and effort from the organization, since all of the company's data collection processes will be verified and evaluated.
A tool that can facilitate and automate some steps in this process is fundamental in this respect, and it is with this in mind that... Privacy Tools developed its Data Mapping, assisting in mapping and classifying this data and allowing its analysis through reports and dashboards that enable the organization to visualize and make decisions in a more qualified and assertive way.
Therefore, all mapping performed will yield analyzable results, allowing the company to make faster decisions about data processing.
Furthermore, the tool allows you to automate and configure reports such as DPIA and LIA, among others, and even allows you to extract these reports for presentation if necessary.
