We’re eager to hear from you
You shouldn’t have to jump through hoops just to map where your organization stores personal information (PI).
With Osano Data Mapping, you can say goodbye to data analytics gatekeepers, redundant data entry, procedural bottlenecks, and all other obstacles standing between you and visibility into the PI your organization processes.
When it comes to mapping your organization’s PI data stores, it can feel like you’ve got your work cut out for you. Data privacy stakeholders need a way to automatically discover data stores and classify the data they contain without relying on in-demand data analytics resources or manual processes.
The Osano Data Mapping software connects to your Single Sign-On (SSO) provider to automatically discover the systems your organization uses to process PI. When your data stores live outside of your SSO ecosystem, semi-automated assessment workflows help ensure privacy professionals and data store owners stay on the same page.
When mapping your data or carrying out compliance activities, privacy professionals are often forced to prioritize their work based on stakeholder availability and best guesses. Osano Data Mapping provides a range of features that help you target your efforts in a smarter, risk- and effort-based approach.
Osano Data Mapping scores discovered systems’ privacy risk based on the data fields they contain, the vendors they export data to, the identities they handle, and other factors.
Ensure scans only discover data stores likely to contain PI by flagging irrelevant or deprecated data stores. If something changes, you can always return to audit flagged systems to evaluate whether or not they process PI.
When your organization’s data map consists of little more than a forest of spreadsheets and tables, gaining an intuitive understanding of your data sprawl, risk, and flows can feel impossible. Osano Data Mapping provides a visual, interactive map of your data that you can use to:
Even in a well-automated, efficient environment, certain systems and tasks will require manual effort. But managing, understanding, and tracking PI as it flows through your organization shouldn’t take up all of your time and energy. For systems that sit outside of your SSO, niche or proprietary systems, and other edge cases, Osano Data Mapping streamlines manual workflows. With Osano, you’ll:
Unlock a complete view of personal information—its storage, movement, and ownership—streamlining subject rights requests, assessments, and audits. Address compliance with evolving regulations and build a robust, adaptable privacy program that fosters cooperation across GRC, security, and IT departments.
Article 5 of the GDPR requires controllers to be accountable for demonstrating they’ve treated consumer data in an ethical, compliant fashion. It’s not just the GDPR, either; numerous other data privacy laws have adopted this accountability principle.
Osano Data Mapping provides you with an auditable resource that proves you’ve been doing your due diligence to ensure data is processed lawfully. After all, if you don’t know where your organization processes PI, you can’t claim that all your processing activities are compliant.
Organizations with general-purpose data mapping and analysis resources might wonder why they need a privacy-focused data mapping solution.
Osano Data Mapping directly hands data privacy stakeholders the tools they need to support compliance, without having to wait in line for in-demand resources (leaving the organization at risk in the meantime). What’s more, Osano Data Mapping is designed specifically for data privacy compliance activities and doesn’t require the same degree of tinkering and tweaking that general-purpose data mapping solutions need.
Knowing where, how, and why your organization processes PI is a must-have for a wide range of compliance activities. Using Osano Data Mapping to build a data map sets you up for:
Fast, efficient subject rights request fulfillment
Osano Data Mapping works hand-in-hand with Osano Subject Rights Management to make the DSAR fulfillment process fast, easy, and accurate.
Automated RoPA generation
Develop your data map and your record of processing activities (RoPA) at the same time. Both documents require much of the same information; whether you start with a RoPA or a data map, you shouldn’t have to enter the same information twice.
Make assessments easy
If you don’t know your organization’s current state, you can’t know when a change merits an impact assessment. Osano Data Mapping gives you the insight needed to make the assessment process clear and straightforward.
