Tips from the TLS team on how to manage and protect your data:

1. Policy and regulation review: Perform a high-level policy review and interview relevant stakeholders to get an understanding of the organization's stance on data privacy regulations.
2. Data mapping: Determine what kind of data the organization has, where it is stored, how it's used, and how policies relate to it.
3. Data analysis: Deploy data analysts with the most appropriate tools to run further analyses that identify problem areas like PII and security protection.
4. Vulnerability assessment: Once it's been established what data is held and where, verify technical controls and security, and add intrusion protection systems to the data map.
5. Remediation: Build a compliance plan including internal workflows or altering data storage locations, security controls, IT environments, or third-party agreements.
6. Ongoing compliance audit: Ensure there is a robust review and audit program in place so that compliance develops and grows with both the organization and the GDPR.
