The Missing Pieces to Your Data Subject Access Request (DSAR) Process

It’s a complicated and challenging process to defensibly respond to Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs), especially within large enterprises where having to deal with complex or specific requests, often at scale, is becoming the new norm.

Having a tight grip on what data you have, why you have it, where you store it and who you share it with – or a robust Data Inventory – has become the bedrock of any successful DSAR response process.

Building on this foundation, successfully fulfilling DSARs requires an orchestrated process. Workflows that can connect to your data inventory, and collect, review, redact, and even delete (or defensibly dispose of) data, are simply a necessity.

Furthermore, if your DSAR response process doesn’t work in concert with your other data or privacy practices, such as Legal Holds, then you’re opening yourself up to further, perhaps more significant legal and financial challenges. Imagine if a DSAR request to delete data is fulfilled compliantly and then you later find out that the data was on a legal hold…
