Webinar
See how we can help you reduce manual work and respond to Subject Access Requests more efficiently 
DSAR volumes are rising, while personal data is increasingly scattered across email, file shares, cloud platforms and business systems.
Organisations normally have one calendar month to respond to a Data Subject Access Request. Meeting that deadline can be difficult when teams rely on manual searches, repeated reviews and inconsistent redaction.
These processes take time and increase the risk of missing relevant information or disclosing another person’s data.
In this webinar, Northdoor and Smartbox.ai will show how organisations can modernise their DSAR processes. You will see how automation can reduce manual work while improving the accuracy, consistency and auditability of each response.
What you will learn
By attending, you will learn:
- Why manual DSAR processes struggle as data volumes increase
- Where delays, incomplete searches and disclosure risks commonly arise
- How automation can support data collection, deduplication, review and redaction
- How to produce consistent, secure and clearly presented response packages
- What an effective and auditable DSAR process should record
- How to introduce DSAR automation into your existing environment
On the agenda
From request to response, without the manual grind
Traditional DSAR processes were not designed for the volume and complexity of personal data held across modern business systems.
We will take you through the process from the initial request to the final response.
01. Find the relevant data
See how Smartbox.ai helps teams locate personal information across email, file shares, cloud platforms and other business systems.
02. Reduce the material for review
Learn how the platform identifies duplicate content, helping teams avoid reviewing the same information more than once.
03. Review and redact personal data
See how teams can detect and redact third-party personal data while managing reviews and approvals through a controlled workflow.
04. Produce the response package
Learn how to create a secure, clearly presented PDF package for the individual making the request.
05. Maintain an audit trail
See how the process records searches, reviews and decisions so the organisation can demonstrate how it handled the request.
Northdoor will also explain how it helps organisations implement, integrate and govern a modern DSAR solution. This includes defining the search scope, connecting relevant data sources and establishing a process that is efficient, consistent and capable of standing up to scrutiny.
