Data Mapping

Gain a complete understanding of your organisation’s data processing environment and activities by undergoing a data mapping project with Bridewell.

Using a custom-built framework, we create a comprehensive map of your processes, assets, and suppliers that enables better data management and provides additional business value.

The Importance of GDPR Data Mapping

Performing a data mapping project can be a resource-intensive process, especially for larger organisations that handle a large amount of data and have numerous processing activities.

While this can be achieved with an automated data mapping tool, this doesn’t bring the human insight necessary to interpret how this affects an organisation’s risk profile.  

Organisations may also attempt to perform manual data mapping but without certified experts, this can be time-consuming for key stakeholders or – at worst - introduce errors in the final documentation.

    How it Works

    mdr

    Understand: We hold workshops with key stakeholders within your organisation to understand how you use personal data and what processing activities are currently undertaken. These insights are used to create a comprehensive record of processes, critical assets, and suppliers, and to understand technical and organisational security measures relating to data, including cross-border flows of personal data.  

    Document: We create all necessary documentation as part of a Record of Processing Activities (RoPA). As a follow-on service, we can provide all the tools necessary for clients to maintain this record themselves. Updates to this documentation are required by law and can be provided as an ongoing service from our data privacy team. 

    GDPR Data Mapping FAQs

    Data mapping is the process of creating a data map, which is a representation of how data is organized and related in a specific format. Data mapping is used to create data models, which are used to understand and manage data. Data mapping is a process of translating one data format into another. 

    Data mapping doesn’t just have to be personal data. From Bridewell’s perspective, it is a transferable skill set that can be applied to any kind of data – including business to business flows.

     

    The duration of the process depends on the size or their organisation and their processes. For a more accurate estimate, get in touch with one of our consultants. 

    Bridewell will handle all of the administration and ‘grunt work’ of the project. All required workshops are streamlined to minimise the amount of time required from key stakeholders while ensuring that we have all the information necessary to understand what personal data they’re processing and what activities are taking place.
