WHAT IS DSAR?
What is a Data Subject Access Request?
A Data Subject Access Request (DSAR) is a legal right that individuals have to request access to the personal information that an organization holds about them. Both customers and employees have the same right to file a DSAR, but employee requests are typically far more complex, encompassing all data both about and created by the individual, such as messages exchanged in collaboration tools like Slack and Microsoft Teams.
The right to submit a DSAR is granted under a number of laws and regulations around the world, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and Canadian Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).
THE PROBLEM
Why you need to manage DSARs
With fines running into the millions per incident, and only a short window in which to comply,
getting ahead of potential DSARs is essential for businesses seeking to avoid regulatory penalties.
Comply with regulatory obligations
DSAR compliance is a foundational part of any overall compliance adherence strategy and applies to all user-generated data, wherever it was created.
Meet tight timescales
A broader attack surface creates an overwhelming amount of data for security teams to parse.
Understand the data you hold
AI-only solutions often generate false positives, requiring constant tuning and human oversight.
Prepare for data removal requests
Identify company-owned information that should be retained in the event a data subject requests the removal of their information.
Limit the cost of compliance
Most expenses incurred by fulfilling DSARs cannot be passed onto the requester, meaning businesses can save costs by being prepared for DSARs before they occur.
Future-proof your organization
Data protection laws are gaining traction worldwide, making DSARs and Right to Be Forgotten requests a key part of future compliance requirements.
