Subject Access Rights: GDPR Implementation Guide

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) grants data subjects new rights including: data portability, access, erasure or “right to be forgotten”, and rectification. For data controllers, there are specific record keeping requirements around the time to respond, the ability to request an extension, the requirement to validate the identity, and securely transmitting the response to the individual. This session addresses how organisations can get ahead in the new era of privacy and increased data subject rights with privacy management software to streamline and automate requests, validation, and notification processes.

Single Subject Search: The Missing Link for GDPR Compliance

The big day has come. GDPR is here! EU regulators will bring investigations and enforcement actions. Class actions are being filed. Privacy advocacy groups are mobilizing EU residents to exercise their newfound individual privacy rights.

 

Companies that fail to respond timely or properly to individual rights requests may sustain significant fines, penalties, judgments and severe reputational risk. Complying with many of these rights requires an understanding of who the requestor is across multiple, messy databases. This can be incredibly challenging. Single subject search can help.

What you will learn:

  • What are the new GDPR individual rights

  • The difficulties in responding to individual rights requests

  • Why leading privacy experts are concerned about SAR compliance

  • How single subject search helps with GDPR compliance
