RM Studio v5.5 Release-GDPR Data Flow Mapping

Announcing the release of the RM Studio v5.5 with the new Data Management Module that provides a visual editor to create data flow mapping of the personal data your organization controls and processes.

The European Union General Data Protection Regulation (EU- GDPR) that went into effect on the 25 May this year brought many new and unique facets to information security within organizations. Most organizations have been slow to identify and map the data flows within the organization, because it is a labor intensive task. Those organizations that have already mapped data flows, but are using spread sheets to manage the task, will definitely appreciate the visual editor. C-level and D-level management, who don’t have a background in computers (operations, human resources, finance), will gain a clear understanding of the data that falls under their domain and what responsibility that could require.

The primary features of the Data Management module include the following:

• Generate a map of data records and data sources containing personal information
• Document the retention policy, access control, location, responsible controllers and processors for each data record
• List the data attributes that you collect in each step, and the lawful basis used to authorize the collection
• Generate a report to give you an overview of your data records
• Manage a list of data subjects that you collect information about
