As you have completed the initial setup for Data Management to cover the below:

  • Obtain consent from data subjects to process their data
  • Provide data subjects with privacy notices that describe how their data is used
  • Ability to comply to data subject request to discontinue processing forms of personal data
  • Established an easy accessible way for data subjects to communicate with the organization on privacy matters

The next Step here is to:

  • Identify risks and develop your organization structure, processes, products & technology to focus on data protection and privacy.
  • To create and maintain a risk management program for data privacy.
  • Invest in technologies to encrypt the identified personal data.
  • Study if your organization is proactively taking measures to avoid breaches, and test the current security measures.

What is Data Governance?

Data governance (DG), the management of data availability, usability, integrity and security within an enterprise. A sound data governance program should cover the enterprise’s ability to set defined procedures and plans to enforce such procedures.

Does your organization have Data Governance for your cloud Backup Solution?
