Data Mapping Overview

Understanding Data Mapping and viewing Data System details.

Data Mapping allow you to easily add different data systems and attributes to your organization to help with data mapping, compliance documentation, and the handling of data privacy requests. Data Systems are not only a critical component when it comes to managing data privacy requests, but they are also essential to demonstrating regulatory compliance by providing a full picture of your organization's capture, processing, and usage of data. Concord provides 100+ out-of-the-box integrations to connect to, as well as the ability to add your own custom-built systems, and Data Systems can be used to:

  • Identify the systems in your organization where personal data resides.
  • Catalog and inventory all personal data across your organization.
  • Associate data across sources with user identities for privacy request fulfillment.
