Data Discovery Services

Map, manage, and secure your data

Protiviti Netherlands helps you remain compliant with data privacy regulations by mapping sensitive and personal data while outlining the priority risks unique to your organisation.

Which processing operations present highest data protection risk?
How does your organisation currently comply with regulatory obligations?
Are we compliant with the applicable regulations?
If yes, we are compliant , how can we demonstrate it?
If we are not compliant, how and when do we plan to achieve compliance?
Do we have a good understanding of where our data resides and how it flows through our internal systems?

Protiviti Netherlands’ data discovery services help your organisation to identify risks and secure information by giving you the insight to understand how personal data flows throughout your organisation. Additionally, our data discovery service provides the framework to respond to data requests (e.g., delete, correct, access) and support breach notifications.

Understand how personal data flows throughout your organisation

Data mapping

To establish an internal compliance baseline, we develop asset-based inventory mapping and process data flow diagrams. These visually represent key data collection and data transmission points, including cross-border data transfers and interactions with third parties.

Records of processing activities (RoPA)

Protiviti Netherlands helps you establish a formal inventory of data processing operations and supporting systems where personal data is collected, processed, stored, transmitted or shared to third parties.

Privacy obligations

For company-wide transparency and effective compliance, we help establish a formal baseline and define the scope of privacy obligations based on relevant regulations to Dutch businesses, such as GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, HIPAA, PIPEDA, and LGPD.

Third-party contract review

Partnering with third-party vendors is standard practice, regardless of company size. Protiviti Netherlands helps organisations to evaluate and redline contractual agreements with third-party processors ensuring compliance of data privacy.

Privacy programme optimisation

Data holds value for both business growth and regulatory compliance. Protiviti Netherlands help you to centralise, operationalise, and optimise your data by leveraging industry-leading privacy frameworks , such as GDPR, AICPA, and NIST Privacy Framework, to ensure company-wide protection and accountability.

Our comprehensive approach to data privacy

Data privacy regulations are constantly changing across the globe.Even when companies comply with applicable privacy laws, such as the European Union’s GDPR , new regulations continue to be introduced. Furthermore as legislators pass new laws, they continuously amend those already in effect.

Data privacy challenges and proposed solutions are complex and constantly evolving. Organisations aiming to comply with a specific regulation by a set deadline often find requirements are soon replaced by new and evolving rules over time. In response to this ever-changing landscape, Protiviti Netherlands applies a holistic framework that addresses the core principles of data privacy without being locked into any one specific compliance format. We focus on the most pressing data privacy issues that companies face, including:
