The General Data Protection Regulation, GDPR, has been designed to give back control of personal data to the individual while defining a clear set of rules on data protection for European Citizens. It’s not just European based companies that need to take note, all organisations that process personal data of EU citizens must also comply with the regulation.
Data lineage plays a vital role in GDPR by mapping the flow of data within an organisation and allowing for full transparency on how it is used. Solidatus helps to build a digital dashboard demonstrating to managers how personal data is being used, enabling the ‘The Right to Erasure’ and laying the groundwork should the regulators ever ask a business to prove their compliance.
Solidatus for GDPR
Using Solidatus, an organisation has the ability to gain valuable insight into their data landscape. The tool enables an organisation to visualise and analyse lineage to understand what data they hold, what type of data they have and how it moves through their systems
