In this chapter, we will discuss “Data Subject Access Requests “ or “DSARs”.
As privacy laws like GDPR and CCPA become more entrenched into the public consciousness, leaders at all kinds of companies are seeing DSARs land on their desk, and need to respond to them and unless they are able to do so accurately and expediently, they risk reputational harm and possible fines. This chapter will help such leaders in 3 ways.
First, we will look at how to look at the DSAR workload and assess how the company is faring in the face of customer requests. This will help leaders and their executive supervisors make informed decisions around data governance, resourcing, training and outreach. This part of the chapter is geared to a wide range of stakeholders.
