Matching Processing to Purpose.
A Data Processing Inventory helps organisations understand and record how personal data is being processed. It provides a detailed view of how the data you hold is stored and processed, supporting alignment with relevant regulatory regimes.
Organisations today hold large volumes of data in many forms and for many different purposes. This creates opportunity, but also introduces risk. For this reason, many data privacy regimes require organisations to maintain detailed records of the personal data they hold and how it is processed.
