For GDPR late-comers, data mapping, security are key first steps by Steve Weil via @infomgmt

Despite having two years to prepare, and the deadline to do so now past, many organisations are still struggling with how to comply with the data management mandate.

I would add that it is a great time to update or start some form of data management. It is also vital that you remember interfaces and reports - especially their output - in order to make sure that data is handled and deleted effectively across your whole business.

Data mapping: A key challenge in achieving GDPR compliance by Laszlo Dellei via @infomgmt

With the 25 May compliance deadline now upon us, there is simply not enough time for manual mapping. There are, however, some alternatives organisations can turn to.

I used to do this as my day job and it's really interesting understanding the journey of data through and organisation, how it is used, what it is called everywhere (so many synonyms) and how it is changed as it is on that journey (text, number, decimal, number, etc). Then you need to work out where that documentation is going to be entered and who is going to have access to it.
