Achieving Data Inventory Completion Across 30 Global Locations for a Leading Music Publisher

A global music publisher with operations in over 30 different countries  needed support in understanding and mapping of their personal data processing activities.

Creating documentation of the processing activities, IT assets and third-parties processing personal data, to provide a foundation for the development of a global privacy program. The client required a manual creation of their data inventories and undertook this exercise as a precursor to aligning their development of a privacy program and supporting operational requirements of applicable laws and regulations.
