What do people here suggest I prioritize? I was thinking: a data audit/data mapping exercise, focusing first on teams that handle customer data; working on our vendor intake process so that new processors and sub-processors go through the appropriate legal reviews; and putting together some sort of product checklist in case we build a new feature that changes how we process data.
The challenge I have is lack of resources. I have a good relationship with one of our engineering managers who is happy to help, but his team’s time is also limited, so maybe I need to think even smaller? Any practical suggestions would be really appreciated.
Those are reasonable priorities. Data mapping is an integral first step. You can’t know how to handle much else without at least the framework of a data mapping exercise, if not necessarily all the details.
Are you adopting gdpr as just a company wide standard even for U.S. operations?
1. Understanding what data is collected, ingestion points of that data, how it is used/processed/shared/sold
2. Data inventory/mapping
From there you can focus on building out vendor intake and building out a checklist of sorts.
Would likely need to bring in external resources to assist. Engineering/Tech/Marketing would be a good place to start internally to get the ball rolling on step 1, if you haven’t already.
Knowing your company and where they are and their priorities…What would add most value to the business? What would return the most value to shareholders?
“Dear business partner there are a few ideas I had about how I might help support and accelerate the business. However, I would be grateful to hear how you would appreciate support accelerating the business and how you would appreciate help optimizing technology and data. What areas of friction are you experiencing? What areas are working that we can help you replicate? What do our customers/clients (of various definition) expect? How can I help you meet or exceed those expectations?
