The process

How a Data Protection Project Is Built

Data protection is simultaneously a technical and an organisational question. In practice most organisations produce the policies but do not know where their sensitive data actually sits. The work therefore starts with discovery.

01

Data discovery and classification

Automated discovery across the environment: file shares, databases, cloud storage, mailboxes. The aim is establishing where sensitive data sits and in what volume.

02

Mapping data flows

Where it comes from, where it is stored, who it passes to. Without a data map neither access management nor incident response can be planned.

03

Deploying controls

Access restriction, encryption at rest and in transit, logging, data loss prevention. Built on existing tool capabilities wherever possible.

04

Maintenance and measurement

Data is created continuously, so discovery must be too. Regular access reviews and enforcement of retention periods.

Frequently asked

Data Protection: The Questions We Hear Most

How do we know where our sensitive data is?

Through automated discovery. In our experience every organisation has surprises: spreadsheets containing personal data on file shares, old exports in the development environment, customer data in a cloud service IT does not know about. Discovery covers both structured and unstructured data and gives a quantitative picture, not just a list.

Are policies and a privacy notice enough?

No. They are necessary, but both the authority and an incident look at operation: is access genuinely restricted, are backups encrypted, is data deleted when retention expires. A document remains paper regardless of who signed it. The quickest check: look at how many people have access to the HR folder, and how many can actually justify it.

What does the 72-hour notification obligation mean?

In a personal data breach the supervisory authority must be notified within 72 hours where the breach poses a risk to data subjects. The clock starts from becoming aware, not from complete investigation. It is therefore worth preparing the notification template in advance and deciding who makes the call, because an incident starting at a weekend leaves no time for that.

How do we handle test and development environments?

This is one of the most common gaps. A copy of the production database frequently lands in a development environment where access is looser and protection weaker. The answer is anonymisation or pseudonymisation: the structure survives, the personal data does not. This is the practical implementation of privacy by design, and in most cases it can be automated.
