Key GDPR Focus Areas
Understanding how GDPR will affect your business

Identifying where customer data is held


To begin reviewing the security and privacy of your customer data, you must first identify
all your systems that contain personal information - or data that can be used to identify a
person. We work with you to conduct a system wide review, mapping out how systems
interact to share customer data.

Identifying where data is captured


With an understanding of where your organisation’s data is held, we review the technological
tools and manual processes that generate prospects, leads, contacts or person accounts
within your systems. We review how an identifiable individual is created, and how information
about them is enriched, updated and processed, and what technology or business user is
responsible for creating it.

Review data accessibility & usage


We review the level of data access and availability across your systems, identifying how
much customer information each user profile can view or edit. We work with you to evaluate
how much of this information is relevant to your users for their business role - identifying
areas where access to personal information can be streamlined, and offering approaches
to limit unnecessary access to private data.

Complying with customers’ data requests


GDPR provides customers’ rights over their personal data. We work with you to ensure your
system can comply with customer’s data requests in a format that complies with GDPR. We
review the current processes in place to action, log, export and delete customer data, and
how this can be enhanced to comply with GDPR. This is particularly relevant with the widely
publicised ‘Right to be Forgotten’.

Evaluating data security


We work with you to audit the security processes in place for protecting the data from
misuse internally, and how they comply with GDPR standards. We review where security
could be improved, as well as where data could be effectively encrypted, made anonymous
or restricted without negatively impacting business activities.

7 Day GDPR Compliance Audit
Building the Foundations of a privacy focused system

STEP 1: STAKEHOLDER WORKSHOPS


• Initial Kick-Off Call
½ Day
• System Landscape Review

Beginning with a kick-off meeting, your lead consultant will work with you to map out the scope of the GDPR
Audit, the privacy measures you already have in place, and any key concerns that may apply to your organisation’s
data.

STEP 2: IDENTIFYING WHERE CUSTOMER DATA IS HELD


• Standard Object review (Leads, Contacts and Person Accounts)

• Identify points of Integration 1 Day*

• Review of Custom Objects

*
The 1 Day estimate assumes our team are working exclusively within a single instance of the Sales Cloud. If your
system architecture is significantly more complex, additional time will be required.

STEP 3: IDENTIFYING WHERE DATA IS CAPTURED


• Identifying Automated Data Capture
1 Day
• Identifying Manual Data Capture

Our consultants document where data is created across prospects, contacts, accounts and person accounts,
mapping it to a Manual or Automated input source. This includes data created by your company connected to a
customer, just as activity tracking, profiling information, lists and campaigns.

STEP 4: REVIEW DATA ACCESSIBILITY & USAGE


• Review of Data & Object access by User Profile
1 Day*
• Review of User Security Permissions

*Our consultants document what data is visible to each of your users. The 1 Day estimate assumes a Salesforce
instance with 15-20 Custom Objects and 2-3 user profiles. If your permissions structure is significantly more
complex, additional time will be required.

STEP 5: COMPLYING WITH CUSTOMERS’ DATA REQUESTS
• Review of Customer Contact Processes and Logs

• Review of Data Portability and Deletion Processes 1 Day

• Review of Reporting & Export Processes

Our consultants document how customer requests are managed, how an audit trail for customer requests is
created and how GDPR compliance can be reported on.

STEP 6: EVALUATING DATA SECURITY


• Review of Data Security

• Review of Potential Data Encryption


1 Day
• Review of Potential Data Anonymisation

• Review of Potential Data Pseudonymisation

Our consultants review the personal data held within your system and identify areas where data security can be
improved. Our team evaluate where personal data can be accessed for business functions that do not require
direct identification, and whether anonymisation would impact their business function. We also identify all users
with the capability to export personal information from your CRM system.

STEP 7: DOCUMENTATION & FEEDBACK

• Documentation of Findings
1 ½ Day
• Feedback & Review of Findings

We compile our findings into a report that documents your current state solution and its compliance with GDPR
regulation, including areas for attention and suggestions for improvement. To conclude the project we provide
feedback on our report with your project stakeholders.
