Data System Attributes

Concord’s new data systems functionality allows companies to easily add different data systems and attributes to their organization. This is important because most privacy regulations require companies to maintain a comprehensive inventory of all the data they have about individual users. With this new functionality, companies can easily add all the data systems they use to help with data mapping, compliance documentation, and the handling of data privacy requests.

Concord’s expanded data system attributes will also provide additional functionality related to data privacy reporting, audits, and assessments. This helps with all types of specific data privacy requirements and reporting, including:

• Record of Processing Activities (ROPA): As part of GDPR compliance, organizations are required to create and maintain a Record of Processing Activities, which includes the purposes of processing personal data, the parties to whom they are disclosing the data, how long they will retain the data, and other details.
• Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs): When an organization develops new projects, strategies, or systems, a Privacy Impact Assessment is a tool to identify and manage any associated privacy risks. A PIA helps organizations ensure compliance with privacy regulation, identify and evaluate the risk of privacy breaches, and identify controls to mitigate that risk.

You can easily add a custom data system within our Admin UI as well, but please reach out to us to let us know if there are any additional data systems that you would like to see added to the platform.
