Since Equifax or EOS the number of data breaches we have seen in the last year has raised awareness of the treat that companies worldwide are facing. It is merely a question when a data breach will occur, not if.

With the new EU GDPR Regulation taking effect on May 25th 2018, there will be even higher repercussions for organizations. Besides having to deal with the costs of securing the system and finding the leak, they are also faced with a massive publicity challenge. On top of this all, the new GDPR Articles force companies to give a detailed account of the events and causes of the hack within 72 hours of discovering a breach.

Additionally, if the breach is likely to result in a high risk of adversely affecting individuals’ rights and freedoms, you must also inform those individuals without undue delay. This is a big challenge for most organizations, as their systems (see for example Equifax) are not set up to handle an enormous amount of data subject requests. Most organizations do not have an automated or straight through processing (STP) system in place to serve a landslide of requests in case of these triggering events.

For a data subject rights portal, it is therefore important to offer an automatic way of data collection, and report generation for data subjects requests. We at Raptor Compliance offer exactly this.
