Six Domains of Data Privacy Protection

Modern data privacy protection requires a comprehensive approach that encompasses data discovery and classification, privacy by design implementation, consent and rights management, security and access controls, monitoring and compliance, and incident response capabilities. This framework ensures organizations can protect personal data while maintaining business agility and regulatory compliance.

Data Discovery and Classification

Comprehensive data discovery, mapping, and automated classification systems for complete data inventory and lineage tracking.

Discovery and Mapping:

  • Cross-border data transfer identification
  • Shadow IT and unmanaged data source discovery
Classification and Tagging:
  • Automated data classification using ML and pattern recognition
  • Sensitivity level assignment and risk scoring
  • Regulatory data category mapping (PII, SPI, PHI)
  • Data retention period and lifecycle management
  • Contextual classification based on usage patterns

Privacy by Design Implementation

Embed privacy controls and principles into system architecture and development processes from the ground up.

Design Principles:
  • Data minimization and purpose limitation enforcement
  • Privacy impact assessments for all new systems
