What is GDPR?
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is an EU data privacy law designed to protect the privacy and security of personal data.It sets strict requirements for how organizations both within and outside the EU collect, store, and manage personal data of EU residents. To meet GDPR requirements, you must understand the types of data you keep and its sensitivity.
How Solidatus supports GDPR compliance requirements
Solidatus provides advanced data lineage that plays a vital role in EU GDPR compliance, by mapping the flow of private information within an entire organization and allowing for full transparency on how it is used. This supports your data privacy compliance.
Businesses can see in a map-style view across all systems, where and how exactly personal data is used in IT systems and processes – and whether controls are in place, or need to be added. You can see for example, whether personally identifiable information (PII) or sensitive information is masked from the view of users or AI agents on specific systems.
Demonstrate a Proactive Approach to Managing Sensitive Data as Part of GDPR Data Compliance
Have full visibility and control over how and where personal data is used in your organization
Link GDPR Regulatory Clauses to Processes, People and Data
Chapter 4 in the regulation concerns the responsibility of those holding data, to ensure “appropriate data protection policies”. For example, a bank processing customer data must have records that confirm where customer data is used and that the right controls are in place. Chapter 3 regards transparency and the rights of the data subject. That they may know where their data is, how it is used and their right for it be erased.
Solidatus lets you see in one end-to-end map view, where personal data is used and whether it has the right controls over it. Upon an individual’s request to see their data, it helps you quickly find and show this – and be confident the right action has been taken. It also enables you to layer a digitized version of GDPR as a reference model, so that you can link regulatory clauses to your data lineage. This can be applied across multiple jurisdictions and privacy laws.
Know How and Where Private Information is Used
Having visibility and control over personal data strengthens your organization’s data governance and GDPR compliance, giving you, your customers, and the GDPR regulators confidence in how data is managed and protected.
Solidatus lets you add business context to your data lineage flows, so you can see instantly whether personal data and sensitive information has been masked on systems, which controls are in place and who owns the relevant systems.
Stay Ahead of Regulatory Change
As regulations are constantly updated to meet changing requirements, you can add new policy requirements into the system – and even visualize how this will impact your lineage view once new regulations come into place.
All of this helps you stay ahead, not behind of GDPR regulatory compliance requirements.
