Data Protection / Security For United Kingdom

Brief regulatory requirements of the United Kingdom Data Protection Act 2018

The Data Protection Regulation/Act (DPA) defines the rules for safeguarding personal information in the United Kingdom and allocates responsibilities to authorities and organizations for how they do so.

Identification of data transmission and collecting checkpoints aided the company in implementing safety and security safeguards to guarantee that personal information is not abused or leaked to any third party.

Identified all of the organizations' personal data and inventoried and mapped their full "Data footprint," allowing them to secure what matters most.

Assists organizations in minimizing excess data by scanning huge data sets for excess data using Machine Learning and identifying excess data, including personal data. Thus, decreasing operational inefficiencies and saving money by deleting useless data and the legal costs associated with having it for regulatory compliance.

Gave organizations the ability to comply with obligatory erasure of personal data by allowing them to erase the data on request and validate the deletion.

Search capability in large datasets to fulfill data subject requests in totality and at a rapid speed. The assumption that data only exists in databases and nowhere else is often not a reality, as customer data exists in many sources. Using ML & AI we crawl across data sources and predict where PII can exist.
