BUSINESS RULE MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK FOR ENTERPRISE WEB SERVICES ijwscjournal
Making a business rule extraction more dynamic is an open issue, and we think it is feasible if we decompose the business process structure in a set of rules, each of them representing a transition of the business process. As a consequence the business process engine can be realized by reusing and integrating an existing Rule Engine. We are proposing a way for extracting the business rules and then to modify it at the runtime. Business rules specifies the constraints that affect the behaviors and also specifies the derivation of conditions that affect the execution flow. The rules can be extracted from use
cases, specifications or system code. But since not many enterprises capture their business rules in a structured, explicit form like documents or implicit software codes, they need to be identified first, before being captured and managed. These rules change more often than the processes themselves, but changing and managing business rules is a complex task beyond the abilities of most business analysts. The capturing process focuses on the identification of the potential business rules sources. As business logic requirements change, business analysts can update the business logic without enlisting the aid of the IT staff. The new logic is immediately available to all client applications. In current trend the rules are modified or changed in the static time phase. But this paper provides to change the rules at the run time. Here the rules are extracted from the services and can be a changed dynamically. The existing
rules are modified and attached to source code without hindering service to the end user which can be achieved with source control systems. When the rules are revised, it provides a path in budding new business logic. This new business logic can be adopted for the efficient software development.

Global IT & Cybersecurity Advisor
Enterprise Content Management (ECM) is a broad term that incorporates a variety of technologies that can significantly affect your business. ECM encompasses the strategies, methods and tools used to capture, manage, store, preserve, and deliver content and documents related to your organizational processes. ECM tools and strategies allow the active management of an organization's unstructured information, wherever that information exists1. How you manage this content has a direct impact on business efficiency, employee productivity, IT infrastructure complexity, and most importantly, your bottom line.

How to minimize scope for gdpr data protection compliance when using cloud se...Dirk Rünagel
With eperi Cloud Data Protection (CDP), you as a cloud user remain in control of all your data protection processes and ensure that your organization’s data protection compliance guidelines are centrally enforced.
eperi Cloud Data Protection is the only solution in the market that allows you to encrypt data in common business cloud applications while retaining their functionalities – like searching for specific content in archived Office 365 emails or using Salesforce reporting features.
All these functionalities remain while your sensitive information is stored only in an encrypted format. For you as a customer of a cloud application such as Office 365 or Salesforce, this means you are able to use all functionalities of innovative cloud applications without compromises due to data protection and compliance requirements. Your sensitive information stored in the cloud is protected against unauthorized access at all times.
GDPR Compliance: The eperi Gateway protects supplier data
A public organisation wants to store their files, among them surveillance videos and VM images, in the cloud. Due to Personally Identifiable Information (PII) being affected, the information has to be pseudonymised according to the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). With the eperi Gateway, the public organisation is able to encrypt and tokenise their data before it is sent to the cloud for processing.
The document discusses the challenges faced by corporate privacy departments and how they can better align with other business functions. It recommends that privacy departments find synergies with information security, product development, legal and other teams. It provides examples of how privacy can collaborate with different departments on tasks like product analysis, incident response and metrics. The document also outlines good practices for privacy programs, such as using recognized frameworks, conducting privacy assessments and demonstrating value through objective metrics.
Impact of GDPR on Third Party and M&A SecurityEQS Group
GDPR impact has been dissected and examined to death - however, M&A activities, as well as third-party security posture, can be greatly affected as well, and this aspect has not been very often pursued. This session hopes to be useful for that.

Data Loss Prevention (DLP) - Fundamental Concept - ErykEryk Budi Pratama
This document discusses data loss prevention (DLP) concepts and implementations. It begins with an overview of data governance and the data lifecycle. It then defines DLP, explaining how DLP solutions protect data in motion, at rest, and in use. Sample DLP deployments are shown, outlining key activities and considerations for implementation such as governance, infrastructure, and a phased approach. Finally, examples of DLP use cases are provided for data in motion like email and data in use on workstations.
Defensible disposition is a critical component to managing costs and risk, and a key element of law firm IG procedures. Disposition initiatives have historically been challenging for law firms to undertake. However, many firms have had to take a more active step forward to execute their retention programs. This session will discuss the various considerations and strategy for implementing and executing a disposition program, including pitfalls, opportunities and regulatory and client considerations and how to demonstrate ROI.
Digital transformation in the oil and gas industry is being driven by emerging technologies like big data, artificial intelligence, and public cloud adoption. Cybersecurity is crucial as companies integrate IT and operational technology systems. A leading company underwent a three-year cybersecurity transformation that prioritized competency, risk management, hygiene, response and resilience. Their strategy was built on the NIST cybersecurity framework and included goals like achieving certain cyber maturity levels for identify, protect, detect, respond and recover functions. A vulnerability assessment of one company's operational technology environment reviewed policies, physical security, network security, host security and safety aspects across process domains to identify risks.
This may feel like a long way off but the obligations on businesses are onerous and the time to prepare is now. The hefty fines that GDPR promises will come into force immediately so businesses are being given plenty of warning to put procedures in place to ensure they are compliant with the regulation. Read this essential guide to getting GDPR ready.
An effective records management program has three key objectives: service, profit/cost-avoidance, and social responsibility. Records management programs help organizations by controlling record growth, reducing operating costs through proper storage and disposal, and improving efficiency by enhancing information retrieval. They also allow organizations to comply with regulations, minimize litigation risks, safeguard vital information, support decision making, preserve institutional memory, and foster a professional work environment. Implementing a records management program can save thousands of dollars annually in storage and staff costs.
1. Enterprise information systems (EIS) can help large multinational companies like GKN manage huge amounts of global data and improve decision making by connecting all business units and factories.
2. GKN operates in over 30 countries and needs an information system to integrate data across locations for strategic planning. EIS can store and process large amounts of data from GKN's operations.
3. By connecting all employees globally, EIS supports consistent decision making and ensures information is shared across the organization in a timely manner. This helps GKN address challenges and opportunities to improve performance.
Class,Im providing a recently example of a critical analysis wr.docxclarebernice
Class,
I'm providing a recently example of a critical analysis written by Dr. Valorie King. This example is based on the 1st case study for this class, CSIA 350.
I think most of you have a good idea of what's required for the case studies, but use the information as you need. I will continue to grade appropriate.
A Critical Analysis (CA) is a discussion response that has an introductory paragraph, an analysis section (around 3 paragraphs or so), and a brief summary. For Case Study #1, a really good CA would have looked something like this:
There are many reasons why a business should invest in cybersecurity products and services. In [her / his] essay, [student name] addressed ethical principles which drive such investments. While ethics are important, the business needs and requirements for IT security must also be considered. In this critical analysis response, I would like to take a deeper look at three important points which drive businesses to invest in IT security.
First, consider the question of the Business Benefits of IT Security products and services. Businesses exist to make a profit (Vitez, 2016). Making a profit requires that losses and unnecessary costs be avoided. This is where the business benefit of IT security products comes into play. An anti-virus product can prevent a malware infection (Drew, 2011). Spending some money to buy an anti-virus product to prevent malware will save money in the long run since the business will not have to pay to cleanup malware infections on laptops, workstations, and servers.
Second, consider the question of Why an organization should invest in IT security technologies. This is very similar to the first question. But, in addition to the financial benefits (cost avoidance) there are also legal and regulatory reasons why an organization should invest in IT security technologies (Smedinghoff, 2005). Many laws require that companies use encryption to protect private information (HIPAA, FERPA, etc.). This is an IT security technology that a company may be legally required to purchase (invest in).
Third, consider Where an organization should focus its attention & why. Technology is only one type of investment that a company should make when it comes to IT security. Investing in people by hiring well qualified security professionals and then providing ongoing training is another area where a company needs to spend money to protect information, information systems, and information infrastructures (ISACA, 2009). Even the best IT security products need people who understand how to configure, test, and operate those products. For this reason, an organization should also focus its attention on hiring the best security professionals that it can afford. Then, the company should keep these people the best by investing in training.
In summary, there are many reasons why a business should invest in IT security and why those investments should include both people and products (technologies). But, the b ...

Bombardier faced challenges from acquiring many companies, resulting in inefficient systems that did not communicate and caused low inventory visibility. They implemented an ERP system to address these issues. ERP implementation for a large global company like Bombardier is challenging due to converting data across locations and risks of errors. Benefits of ERP include reduced costs, improved visibility and decision-making, and improved operational efficiency. The strong point of Bombardier's Mirabel roll-out was that it allowed them to identify points that needed improvement to achieve goals.

Cost benefit analysis vs confidentialityPrithvi Ghag
Cost-benefit analysis provides a framework to identify, quantify, and compare the costs and benefits of policy actions in dollar terms. There are four basic steps: 1) identify alternatives, 2) describe inputs/outputs, 3) estimate costs and benefits, and 4) compare. It helps managers understand impacts and identify most beneficial alternatives. While it simplifies complex concepts, limitations include difficulties valuing indirect impacts and benefits.
Using compliance initiatives like IDMP to drive forward information managemen...Adrian Jones
Regulatory bodies are increasingly demanding more enterprise data from regulated industries. This white paper argues that compliance initiatives driven by new regulations can be leveraged to drive information management strategy changes. Specifically, regulations like IDMP require integrated data across functions, forcing organizations to address data quality, governance, and infrastructure issues. Rather than seeing compliance as a necessary burden, organizations should view regulations as an opportunity to gain insights from expanded data sets. Integrating compliance programs into overall strategy can help secure funding and approval by enhancing business cases with cost avoidance from avoiding penalties. The paper concludes organizations should identify synergies between compliance initiatives and information management strategies to generate higher business value.

Avoiding Audit Fatigue: Achieving Compliance In A Multi-compliance World In Nine Steps
Gartner Security/Risk Management Conference
July 2010
It's common for information security managers to be held responsible for failed audits where they had little control or influence in the rest of the organization. This presentation provides nine steps that information security managers can use to break the compliance blame cycle and build an information security program that more effectively mitigates security risk. By successfully executing these steps, the information security manager will no longer continually react to and
manage the audit preparation crisis du jour. Instead, the information security manager will institute and rely upon regular, defined activities to complete the heavy lifting of preparing for a successful audit long before the audit occurs.
This session also describes how IT security managers can achieve alignment among all stakeholders so that information security and compliance activities become integrated into daily business operations.
Completing the nine steps in this presentation requires business stakeholders, IT management, and information security management to all mutually support the same goal. This session describes how to gain this alignment and defines the various compliance roles so that information
security and compliance activities become integrated into daily

CSU Executive Management Team
Adoption
All manager, staff and contractors
Responsibility for ensuring that Information Governance Checklists and Privacy Impact Assessments are completed, where required, resides with all Service Managers and Directorate Heads.
Line Managers are responsible for ensuring that their permanent and temporary staff and contractors are aware of the Information Governance Checklist and Privacy Impact Assessment process.
On a day-to-day basis staff of all levels that are introducing a new system be it electronic or paper based, should use this document to ensure that processing remains compliant with current legislation.
Information Governance Checklist
The Information Governance Checklist provides short initial assessment which should be completed at an early stage of any project or service redesign to identify stakeholders, make an initial assessment of privacy risk and decide if a Privacy Impact Assessment is necessary as not all project or changes to services would require one.
A copy of the IGC form can be found at Appendix A
Privacy Impact Assessment
A PIA is a process which helps assess privacy risks to individuals in the collection, use and disclosure of information. PIAs help identify privacy risks, foresee problems and bring forward solutions. A PIA is necessary to identify and manage risks; to avoid unnecessary costs; to avoid inadequate solutions to privacy risks; to avoid loss of t ...
In today’s global marketplace, successful companies must be able to integrate and quickly view quality audit information from their manufacturing sites all over the world. This strategic capability has become even more important as manufacturers have moved offshore and have become more complex. The value and immediacy of quality assurance data is a critical element to the survival of competitive manufacturing organizations. Software systems can address these issues.

Challenges & Opportunities the Data Privacy Act BringsRobert 'Bob' Reyes
My slide deck used in People Management Association of the Philippines' (PMAP) Data Privacy Act Forum held last 18 SEP 2017 at Ace Hotel & Suites, Pasig City.
Aiim ibm advanced casemanagement-2013-01Katleen Aems
This document discusses a white paper on broadening the scope of advanced case management. It provides context about AIIM and IBM, the survey methodology used, and characteristics of case management environments. Some key findings from the survey include:
- Over half of responding organizations have case-based processes, with project management, contract management, and help desk being most common.
- Cases tend to involve variable content from multiple sources and need to be archived. Monitoring progress is also important.
- Pressure on case workers includes reducing costs, managing large volumes of information, and avoiding errors. Compliance with regulations is also a major factor.
- Improving productivity, collaboration, resolution times and customer experience are the biggest drivers

Businesses involved in mergers and acquisitions must exercise due di.docxdewhirstichabod
Businesses involved in mergers and acquisitions must exercise due diligence in ensuring that the technology environment of the future organization is robust and adequately protects their information assets and intellectual property.. Such an effort requires time and open sharing to understand the physical locations, computing environment, and any gaps to address. Lack of information sharing can lead to a problematic systems integration and hamper the building of a cohesive enterprise security posture for the merged organization.
Often the urgency of companies undergoing a merger and acquisition (M&A) impedes comprehensive due diligence, especially in cybersecurity. This creates greater challenges for the cybersecurity engineering architect, who typically leads the cybersecurity assessment effort and creates the roadmap for the new enterprise security solution for the future organization. However, the business interest and urgency in completing the merger can also represent an opportunity for CISOs to leverage additional resources and executive attention on strategic security matters.
In this project, you will create a report on system security issues during an M&A. The details of your report, which will also include an executive briefing and summary, can be found in the final step of the project.
There are nine steps to the project. The project as a whole should take two weeks to complete. Begin with the workplace scenario and then continue to Step 1.
Deliverable
Cybersecurity for a Successful Acquisition, Slides to Support Executive Briefing
Step 1: Conduct a Policy Gap Analysis
As you begin Step 1 of your system security report on cybersecurity for mergers and acquisitions, keep in mind that the networks of companies going through an M&A can be subject to cyberattack. As you work through this step and the others, keep these questions in mind:
Are companies going through an M&A prone to more attacks or more focused attacks?
If so, what is the appropriate course of action?
Should the M&A activities be kept confidential?
Now, look at the existing security policies in regard to the acquisition of the media streaming company. You have to explain to the executives that before any systems are integrated, their security policies will need to be reviewed.
Conduct a policy gap analysis to ensure the target company's security policies follow relevant industry standards as well as local, state, and national laws and regulations. In other words, you need to make sure the new company will not inherit any statutory or regulatory noncompliance from either of the two original companies. This step would also identify what, if any, laws and regulations the target company is subject to. If those are different from the laws and regulations the acquiring company is subject to, then this document should answer the following questions:
How would you identify the differences?
How would you learn about the relevant laws and regulations?

This document proposes an innovative approach called SIM (Secure Identity Management) that aims to make access management policies closer aligned with business objectives. It does this in two ways:
1) By focusing the policy engineering process on business goals and responsibilities defined in processes, using concepts from the ISO/IEC 15504 standard. This links capabilities and accountabilities to process outcomes and work products.
2) By defining a multi-agent system architecture to automate the deployment of policies across heterogeneous IT components and devices. The agents provide autonomy and ability to adapt rapidly according to context.
The approach was prototyped using open source components and aims to improve how access rights are defined according to business needs and deployed across an organization

This document proposes an innovative approach called SIM (Secure Identity Management) that aims to define access control policies in a way that is closely aligned with business objectives. It does this by linking concepts from the ISO/IEC 15504 process-based model for organizing work to concepts of responsibility. The approach also defines a multi-agent system architecture to automate the deployment of access policies across an organization's heterogeneous IT components and devices. This provides autonomy and adaptability. The goal is to improve how access rights are defined according to business needs and how those rights are deployed throughout the IT infrastructure.

Ben Oguntala outlines plans for a pilot project called "Redefining Africa - Ode Remo" to promote sustainable development in Ode Remo, Nigeria. The project aims to address the UN Sustainable Development Goals through community-led initiatives such as employment generation, farming projects, health facilities, education, women's empowerment, water and solar projects, and developing local partnerships. The goal is for communities to generate their own capital for development.
The document outlines Ben Oguntala's plan to launch a pilot development project called "Redefining Africa - Ode Remo Pilot" in Ode Remo, Nigeria. The project aims to allow local communities to initiate their own sustainable development by generating capital and employment opportunities to address issues like poverty, hunger and health. It will focus on sectors like farming, healthcare, education, female empowerment, water, solar, and raw materials. Projects will be structured around the UN's Sustainable Development Goals and involve local partners to boost trade and jobs. The appendix provides more details on how specific SDG targets will be addressed.
Ben Oguntala of the UK-based Africa Secretariat proposes solutions to address Nigeria's growing unemployment problem of at least 60 million people. He argues that the current model of governments centralizing solutions is overwhelmed and fails. Instead, he proposes a decentralized model where the 1 million unemployed with access to raw materials could create 10 jobs each through selling raw materials internationally and using the funds to create end products locally. This could generate over 10 million new jobs paying over £10 per hour and inject £100 million into Nigeria's economy per hour, without government funding. To identify promising projects, the Africa Secretariat is launching a raw materials development competition.
The document outlines Africa Secretariat, an initiative to promote intra-African trade and development led by local communities and organizations. It aims to connect African leaders, women's groups, youth, diaspora, businesses and more to collaborate on initiatives that create jobs. The services include platforms for trading local supplies, promoting African raw materials, enabling diaspora participation, supporting youth entrepreneurship, and engaging chambers of commerce in development projects. The goal is to demonstrate Africa's ability to drive its own development through trade and employment opportunities.
This paper describes how we implement our inherent Data leakage prevention program that enables your organisation prospective compliance from implementation day.
This document describes the risk assessment and risk treatment process used by Riesgo Risk Management's ISO27001 compliance tool. It involves projects submitting initial surveys that are scored as low, medium, or high risk. Medium and high risk projects undergo further assessment by an information security team. They identify project risks and information assets, conduct business impact assessments, and update risk registers with mitigation actions. Dashboards provide visibility into projects, assets, policies, and overall risk management. The tool aims to facilitate remote risk assessment and compliance for organizations.
This document describes a web-based tool for conducting privacy impact assessments. It allows project teams and compliance teams to identify and manage privacy risks associated with projects and changes. Key features include an initial survey to assess privacy risk, a full privacy impact assessment for higher risk projects, and a risk register to track mitigation of identified risks. The tool aims to provide an effective and collaborative solution for privacy risk management throughout a project's lifecycle.
The document outlines a 5 step framework for managing an organization's information asset register. Step 1 involves defining key stakeholders like privacy, compliance, and information security teams. Step 2 has organizations create an information asset register and supplier register. Step 3 maps current assets to suppliers and information sharing agreements. Step 4 establishes relevant processes around risk assessment, projects, and third parties. Step 5 involves a phased rollout of the solution across business units. The overall framework provides guidance on classifying, risk assessing, and tracking an organization's information assets and how they are shared.
Riesgo Risk Management\'s Fraud Management solution is a cost effective means of implementing a Fraud management system that detects, prevents and mitigates fraud. It has adaptors that may sit on servers and trigger alerts to the Fraud Management dashboard.

Aunque la herramienta pueda ser usada para la certificación ISO27001 el objetivo es de asistir a organizaciones a mantener la conformidad al estándar (es decir trabajando al espíritu del estándar).
This document describes an online audit tool that helps auditors evaluate an organization's ISO 27001 compliance. The tool allows auditors to schedule and conduct audits, review policies and documentation, monitor reviews and updates, and report any noncompliances. Evidence of compliance is captured directly from normal business operations over time rather than just prior to audits. The tool aims to make the audit process less tedious and adversarial by integrating compliance activities into daily work. Auditors can evaluate different areas of compliance and see compliance dashboards to identify gaps. Noncompliances are reported back to the appropriate teams to take action and resolve issues.
www.InformationsecurityAudtors.com provides a web based tool (www.riesgoriskmanagement.com) for Auditors to capture information relating to ISO27001 compliance.
The difference the tool makes is the manner in which it acquires compliance evidence and how the Auditor is able to determine the level of compliance and potential gaps.
Evidence reflects an organisation’s behaviour not just prior to the arrival of the auditors but possibly going back for the last two quarters.
The solution is a web based tool that sits on the client’s site and access can be restricted or allowed for 3rd parties. Internal auditors will be able to ensure compliance across all business units as long as they have access to the intranet.
GPRS Troubleshooter is a web based tool designed to assist netork operation centres and customer services staff in detecting possible issues in GPRS/3G connections for clients.
Riesgo PCI v2 is a software solution that assists organizations in managing their PCI compliance activities. It includes a PCI operations radar for real-time monitoring of PCI assets, a PCI compliance dashboard, and a log retrieval system. The solution captures the full PCI assessment and audit cycle, including assessing projects, business units, and assets against PCI policies. It provides visibility into compliance status and risk ratings. For a pilot of the software, organizations should contact Ben Oguntala.
This document describes a Freedom of Information (FOI) management tool. The tool allows organizations to:
1. Manage end-to-end FOI requests through online forms, a dashboard for requests, and reporting.
2. Link FOI forms to an organization's websites, intranets, business units, and partners to capture all FOI requests.
3. Provide real-time visibility of all FOI requests on a dashboard that automatically alerts teams and tracks deadlines.
4. Record responses to requests and manage the full request lifecycle from the dashboard.
The tool can be customized and implemented within 3 months for an organization's specific needs.
The DPA tool allows organizations to:
1. Capture all SAR requests through linked online forms on their intranet and internet sites as well as business partners.
2. Administer requests on a dashboard that automatically tracks timing and alerts teams.
3. Assign officers who can log responses electronically on the dashboard to complete the SAR lifecycle.

3. Introduction
Most countries in Europe and America are faced with an austere period for the next few years and
consequently most organisations within these countries especially Government and private sectors
are going to be faced with the challenges of cost reduction whilst the requirements and obligations
stay the same.
Within the Data Protection/Privacy management sector this austere period will manifest itself in the
form of reduction of Privacy staff and resources for managing the day to day requirements of a Data
protection and privacy/compliance management.
A reduction in resources increases the likelihood of breaching the EU Data protection directive or UK
Data protection Act of 1998. The key areas impacted include:
1. Policy management and implementation including periodic review
2. Dissemination of policies and procedures to all business units
3. Assessment of business changes that impact 3rd parties
4. Privacy impact assessment across business units
5. Privacy audit of suppliers
6. Operational support of businesses
7. Privacy standard enforcement
8. Managing subject Access request and responses
9. Privacy audit of business units
To address this problem, www.dataprotectionofficer.com has a portal based solution that is
designed to assist Chief privacy Officers, Data Protection Officers and compliance teams in
maintaining their obligations.
The diagram above depicts the areas of control the www.dataprotectionofficer.com provides the
data protection officer, with diminishing resources the obligations toward Data Protection
compliance can still be achieved.
www.dataprotectionofficer.com info@dataprotectionofficer.com
4. The role of the Data Protection Officer
The diagram below depicts how a typical organisation’s privacy management structure is organised;
it demonstrates the key areas of concerns and the associated obligations related to them. As the
resources are reduced, the key areas may be deficient and increase the propensity to breach the
Data Protection Act.
The solution provided by www.dataprotectionofficer.com was designed privacy lawyers and
compliance Consultants; thereby it has an innate compliance capability even when there are
diminishing resources.
The solution also provides you with the ability to pick and choose areas you wish to automate, for
example, strategy is predominantly handled by senior management and rarely change frequently.
Therefore the automation will allow visibility of how effective the strategy is within your
organisation and where improvements can be made.
Operational support, Complaints & resources, Subject Access request, incidents and Audit &
compliance are resource intensive, we have tools designed to reduce the resource intensiveness and
requirements allowing your organisation to still maintain the same level of compliance by integrating
the solution into your current environment.
www.dataprotectionofficer.com info@dataprotectionofficer.com
5. Resource deficiency impact
Depending on the size of your organization, the economic depression may have varying degrees of
impact, in some of situations, as a Small to medium organisation, you may be left with 1 or 2
resources to manage the entire privacy regime and in other larger organisations you may simply be
left with 4 resources.
With this in mind, our solution is designed to allow you to operate with minimum resources in order
to achieve optimum efficiency along with key performance indicators.
The numbers above may vary depending on size of the organisation.
www.dataprotectionofficer.com info@dataprotectionofficer.com
6. Resource responsibilities on key privacy areas
The resources within privacy have specific responsibilities and if reduced may expose the area to
potential breaches, our solution is designed to plug each hole in order to ensure adequate coverage
should the resource reduction actually materialise.
www.dataprotectionofficer.com info@dataprotectionofficer.com
7. Policy management and implementation including periodic review
Assuming there is only 1 resource available in this area, the www.dataprotectionofficer.com solution
will enable your organisation’s resource(s) to:
1. Draft policies and procedures
2. Single click dissemination of policies to all business units
3. Single interface management of all policies, procedures and processes
4. Single dashboard view of all policies
Data
Protection
The diagram above depicts the policy dashboard capturing the essential policies and their
commensurate procedures.
www.dataprotectionofficer.com info@dataprotectionofficer.com
8. Dissemination of policies and procedures to all business units
The policy dashboard will allow you to:
1. Create Data Protection and other privacy related policies
2. Create a group or national policy
3. Create a local policy if applicable
4. Create relevant department policies relating to the main policy
5. Assign operational responsibility for procedures to an offer
6. The responsibility will then be able to create their procedures to match the policies
7. Monitor risks, incidents and audits
All business units within your entire enterprise will have their key personnel listed on the
organization chart and once policy is updated will be alerted via email.
Each business unit will have the responsible officer listed as well as the key personnel in the business
unit responsible for the operations related to privacy and data protection.
www.dataprotectionofficer.com info@dataprotectionofficer.com
9. Privacy impact assessment across business units and 3rd parties
All projects and business changes once approved will be able to submit their projects/changes via
the portal to the Data Protection/Privacy team for Privacy impact assessment (PIA).

10. Privacy audit of suppliers
The portal contains an organisational chart that also includes suppliers, the diagram below lists
suppliers and the number of information Assets your are sharing with them as well as any associated
incidents recorded against the assets.
This single interface simplifies the supplier engagement process and compliance management.
Each asset associated with the supplier is listed and can be audited, non compliances can be
registered against each asset.
www.dataprotectionofficer.com info@dataprotectionofficer.com
11. Operational support of businesses
The operation support is perhaps the most likely to suffer from a resource deduction and to address
the problem we have simplified the engagement process making it possible to maintain the same
level of service to the business.
Our initial approach is the automated privacy impact assessment which determines the level of
privacy impact the project has an automatically scores the project.
The initial survey is part of the Privacy impact assessment and is designed to weed out project that
do not have any privacy impact thereby focusing only on projects with privacy risks.
This process is adequate for limited resourced teams by streamlining the end to end process and
focusing on privacy impacting projects and changes.

13. Managing subject Access request (SAR) and responses
Subject Access request can arrive from numerous ingress points in your organisation; the
www.dataprotectionofficer.com solution captures all your various ingress points as well as various
business units and integrates them into a single dashboard.
Every time a SAR is registered is there is an automatic tracking process that captures the request,
alerts the team and places the request on the SAR dashboard. The role of the Data Protection team
will be to ensure all requests have a response with the 40 day limit, in order to achieve this task we
have an automatic countdown that tracks the request from day zero till a response is made.
The dashboard automatically assigns a SAR ID to the SAR and allows the Data Protection/Privacy
team to carry out the admin checks and validity checks as well as be able to assign the request to an
officer for a response whilst still having overall visibility.
At 5 days left, the dashboard entry changes to Amber and sends an alert to team that a SAR has 5
days to go and has had no activity allowing the team to act on the SAR prior to breach.
