You Are Here: First Steps in Data Mapping

You can’t be compliant if you're lost in your data landscape. Where do you collect personal information?  What do you collect? Where is it processed, and what other systems does it flow to?  

To answer these questions and others like them, you need a data map. Data mapping is the foundation for your downstream compliance activities: Consent management, assessments, subject rights requests, and more.  

Building a data map is less intimidating than you think. 

You'll learn all about modern data mapping with tips and actionable advice on how to build your first data map and turn it into one of your most valuable compliance assets.

In this webinar, our data mapping experts cover: 

  • Why data maps are essential for data privacy compliance 
  • The first steps to take when building your data map and key points to remember 
  • Best practices when generating an actionable, insightful data map and pitfalls to avoid
