Closing Compliance Gaps: Building a Centralized Data Map for Greater Visibility & GDPR Alignment

Closing Compliance Gaps

An entertainment company operating primarily across the U.S. and EU markets needed to establish a centralized data map to improve visibility into its processing activities. Given its operations in the EU, the organization was expected to maintain a documented data map or RoPA to meet GDPR compliance requirements. ​

This compliance gap impacted key stakeholders, mainly Legal and Technology, with additional discovery involving Advertising, HR, Marketing, Operations, and Compliance. ​

To address these challenges, the company partnered with Myna to strengthen its compliance posture and to help implement a OneTrust module that collects information about its processing activities and populates the data map accordingly. ​

To achieve the client’s objectives, Myna: ​

  • Conducted scoping and discovery sessions to better understand the organization’s current OneTrust setup and overall compliance goals. ​
  • Collaborated with stakeholders to create an assessment that captures applicable Data Mapping information for the in-scope processing activities, vendors, and assets, and recommended enhancements to the existing PIA template.​
  • Worked with various organizational groups to assist with completing the drafted assessment.​
  • Trained stakeholders on the OneTrust configuration and created reports that help to extract key information from the completed assessments. ​
  • Developed a risk matrix/template to flag potential risks identified in the assessments.​

The project was completed over a six-month timeline and successfully incorporated Myna’s best practice recommendations, ensured alignment with relevant jurisdictions, and maintained organization-specific standards and language.​

Program Outcomes

  • Delivered a completed and populated data map consisting over 30 individual processing activities, along with several custom reports that auto-update based on the current state of the data map.​
  • Strengthened alignment with in-scope privacy jurisdictions and aligned with industry best practices.​
  • Established a clear, manageable process for annual reassessments. ​
  • Enhanced the PIA template, reports, and dashboards, and configured the PIA to capture information that is valuable to the team for reporting purposes.​
  • Completion of data mapping led to process improvement initiatives for Cookies and TPRM. ​
