PDM: Personal Data Manager

Personal Data Manager (PDM) is the most automated, accurate, practical and secure solution for finding, viewing, monitoring, & reporting upon the existence, occurrence and processing of personal data anywhere across the organisation irrespective of network location, format or storage.

Since the 2018 Data Protection Act (GDPR+), Data Subject Access Requests (DSAR) are imposing significant and increasing pressures on public and private sector organisations. The impact on internal resource and processes is now considerable and, certainly, not to be underestimated as non-compliance to GDPR carries very heavy penalties. PDM enables the organisation to efficiently and economically respond to any DSAR because all personal data relating to the DSAR requestor (the ‘Data Subject’) can be discovered, reported and presented back automatically to the Organisation who can then respond to the Requestor within the 30-day time limit.

PDM provides the automated means to answer the What, Why, When, How, Where and Who of personal data discovery for all aspects of compliance, security and governance.

Because PDM finds all instances of personal data wherever hidden in source paperwork, digital documents & files, metadata & free text - departmental, multi-departmental or enterprise-wide irrespective of its location, format or storage across the organisation.

And you can easily scope, investigate, classify, monitor and view in situ automatically any source document containing personal data without unnecessary copying or transferring of files, or having to build an electronic document/file warehouse or central repository.

The unique value proposition is that PDM automates all the operations necessary to scope, investigate, discover, classify, monitor, view in situ and then report upon any source (documents, files & records, metadata/free text, databases) that contains personal data and so comes under GDPR, FOI and all other Data Privacy & Security regimes, guidelines and best practices
