5 Steps to Data Minimization

Many organizations view it as an asset to collect and store more information than necessary from their clients & customers because of the potential value. In this process, it's often overlooked that the vast majority of this additional information is never used and becomes so extensive, and difficult to sift through for what is needed.

Regardless of this, it regularly violates the data minimisation principles of many of the enacted legislations globally, including GDPR.

Here are 5 Key Steps to help guide you on your minimization journey

1.Clearly defined, limited, relevant purpose(s) for data collection and use established

2. The amount of personal data collected has been minimized to only what is needed

3. Adequate access controls are implemented to ensure only approved individuals and systems have access to personal data

4. Appropriate technologies and procedures in place to verify data is up to date and secure

5. We periodically review the data we hold, and securely dispose of anything we don’t need
