Data Protection and Security Tools

In implementing necessary data privacy controls or achieving compliance, the first step is to identify the amount of sensitive data being stored, processed, and used by respective applications / systems. Updated and accurate inventory of sensitive data helps in conducting Privacy Impact assessments, defining, and applying Data Classification policies, responding to any DSAR request, and maintaining required ‘Records of Processing Activity.’ Some of the tools available today allow us not only to detect sensitive data but also to implement protection controls like Anonymization – Pseudonymization; help in applying retention, or deletion policies in an automated way reducing manual efforts while increasing accuracy and efficiency of the process.
