Run the data privacy Express

Updated on 4 min Open in Cenedril

Goal Set up and approve the basic data protection documentation in five steps with a template code: record of processing activities, data transfers, safeguards, records and policies.

With a template code, the data privacy Express sets up the basic data protection documentation for your organisation. You open the card Data privacy express in the overview of the data privacy assistant, load your template, answer a few questions and confirm your obligations and safeguards. On completion the record of processing activities, the data transfers, the overview of measures, the records and the policies are created, all of them already approved.

Open the data privacy Express and load the template

Open the card in the overview

Open the Data Privacy Assistant through Wizards. The card Data privacy express sits between the introduction and the kickstarter. Click Start the data privacy Express.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I find the data privacy Express?

The card “Data privacy express” sits in the overview of the data privacy assistant, between the introduction and the kickstarter. It appears when your organisation carries a template code, for example because you signed up through a link with a code.

Why does the overview say “The data privacy Express is only available for an empty data privacy assistant.”?

Your data privacy assistant already contains entries, for example a processing activity in the record. The data privacy Express does not overwrite existing documentation. In this case, continue working in the detailed data privacy assistant. Owners and administrators can clear the assistant through “Delete everything and start over” as an alternative, after which the data privacy Express is available. Website documents such as the website privacy notice and the cookie banner do not count as entries here.

What if something is different for me than in the template?

Complete the data privacy Express anyway and add the deviation afterwards in the detailed data privacy assistant. There you change and extend everything the data privacy Express has set up.

What happens if closing is interrupted?

What was set up until then remains. The step “Safeguards” shows a note on where closing stopped, and the button reads “Continue closing”. One click picks up at this point.

What does a safeguard without a tick mean?

For every safeguard that is not yet in place, the data privacy Express creates a task with a deadline on completion. Afterwards the tasks are listed under “Tasks” and in the step “Result”.
