Turn metadata into your greatest allies for compliance with the GDPR and other applicable regulations in Spain such as: the National Security Scheme and the ISO 27001 standard for the treatment of metadata.
GDPR stipulates that data subjects (individuals) have the right to access their personal data processed by an organisation.
To provide access to data, an organisation must first identify everywhere the data resides. Metadata enables organisations to locate the data they need.
The GDPR states that data subjects have the right to demand from their organisation that their personal information be deleted or forgotten.
This might seem simple enough, but personal information is stored in many different places, MetaClean can help your organisation control their personal data by allowing them to easily view, download or delete their personal data.
Data subjects should also be able to receive their personal information from one organisation and transfer it to another organisation.
In order for an organisation to deliver this information, it must first map and locate each location of the data, which can only be done through metadata.
The GDPR requires the inclusion of data protection from the start of system design.
Through metadata, organisations can identify sensitive data elements and therefore understand which data requires protection.
GDPR requires organisations to inform data subjects within 72 hours of discovering a potential breach.
Metadata, e.g. name, email or date of document creation, helps organisations determine when and how a hack occurred.
