The regulation has been drafted to increase the protection of personal data and the privacy of EU residents as well as to facilitate administrative declarations for international companies. Compliance with the GDPR and the different legislation must be the priority of companies using or collecting personal data of EU residents.
In order to comply with the GDPR, every company has to map every processing activity. Whatever the technology used, it is of utmost importance to identify and audit every sensitive data stored and used by your company. Transparent access to the source of data facilitates the evaluation and management of risks regarding both the confidentiality and the integrity of the data. Moreover, companies have obligations to be able to locate the origin and use of any personal data they have.
A company must audit all the data to identify the personal information on every database, application, software, etc. Personal data could be stored in structured or unstructured databases. Thus, the data controller or the DPO, if the mission was entrusted to them, must extract, classify and map personal data such as name, email address, and social security number. Depending on the amount of data used, this process could be hard to handle without an expert. Besides the mapping of personal data by level of risks, an analysis regarding the pertinence, the quality or the retention period must be held.
To comply with the GDPR, the confidentiality rules must be documented (for example the management of clearances) and shared within the company. It is the best way to ensure that the personal data are only accessible to allowed employees.
Once the mapping of the personal data is completed, a level of protection adapted to each category of personal data must be decided. To comply with the GDPR, at least 3 techniques could be used to ensure the protection of personal data: encrypting, pseudonymising and anonymising. It is mandatory to use an appropriate technique depending on users’ rights and the context of use without compromising the growing need for analysis, forecasting, portability, query and reporting.
The last step is to create a compliance action plan including the costs and managing the responsibilities of the different actions between each department/direction. Indeed, all the departments/directions (HR, Marketing, Legal, IT, etc.) are concerned by the GDPR and would have to be involved in the implementation of the action plan.
