Mapping data flows involves diagramming the path of data as it moves through your organization’s systems, applications, and networks. This visual representation helps you identify points where data is collected, stored, processed, and transmitted.
Identifying privacy risks requires conducting a thorough risk assessment to pinpoint potential vulnerabilities in data handling processes. This involves analyzing data access controls, encryption practices, third-party data sharing agreements, and compliance with data protection regulations.
To mitigate privacy risks, you can implement data protection measures such as encryption, access controls, data minimization, and regular privacy audits. By continuously monitoring and updating your data flows and privacy risk assessments, you can ensure that your data governance practices remain effective and compliant.
