Whether we take a top-down approach (start with in-scope business services) or a bottom-up approach (search and categorize data stores), or a combination of both, the true purpose of a data discovery service serves the age-old logic that you can't manage what you don't know about. Depending on organizational maturity, this discovery could lead to several side benefits as well as surprises. Though this is one of the first steps taken on the road to GDPR compliance.

One of the key success criteria for GDPR compliance is a strategic focus on data governance and data lifecycle management. When faced with the challenge of not directly "owning" data governance, GDPR program executives often face initiative slow-downs or are simply not able to execute some of their GDPR initiatives. Helping to ensure that GDPR stakeholders are considered "champions", not "sponsors" by other business stakeholders, we help our clients attain a liaison status within parts of the organization not directly under their control. This service is about influencing the organizational culture to achieve common business objectives and relies on executive outreach, awareness sessions, common discovery workshops, and plenty of social interactions to achieve the desired results.
