Through DPO Consulting’s audit service, organizations can carry out internal audits or audits of subcontractors to verify compliance with data protection legislation and identify potential non-compliance issues.
Key Elements of the Audit Process:
Identification of key stakeholders, the personal data being processed, and how it is collected;
Categorization, organization, hierarchy, location, and flow of personal data;
Evaluation of the information security measures in place and their adequacy in relation to risk.
Data mapping is a critical step for organizations, as it enables a deeper understanding of internal processes and the personal data involved. This mapping process - particularly through the Record of Processing Activities, as required under the GDPR - commits companies to:
Identify the personal data being processed;
Analyze the security measures in place and those effectively implemented;
Understand the data lifecycle, its interdependencies, and access controls;
Assess the legitimacy and necessity of personal data processing activities carried out by the organization.
