When responding to a DSAR from a former employee with vague and overly broad demands, precision and compliance are essential.
This case study demonstrates how Morae’s strategic, technology-enabled DSAR solution delivered a defensible, cost-efficient response while safeguarding sensitive business information.
Key Aspects of the Response
- Targeted Scoping: Conducted Early Case Assessment (ECA) to define entitlement boundaries under GDPR and case law, clarifying that only documents containing personal data and relevant to the redundancy decision were in scope.
- Optimized Workflow Design: Developed a focused review process prioritizing personal data and excluding irrelevant or confidential business information, avoiding an inefficient “review everything” approach.
- Standardized Framework: Created a repeatable DSAR response model, including clear communication templates to set expectations for future requests and reduce ambiguity.
- Technology Enablement: Deployed advanced filtering and analytics tools to streamline document identification, minimize review volume, and ensure accuracy and compliance.
Results
- Significant Data Reduction: Reduced review population by excluding non-entitled and confidential materials, ensuring only relevant personal data was processed.
- Cost Efficiency: Delivered a lean, defensible workflow that minimized unnecessary review and associated costs.
- Regulatory Compliance: Achieved full compliance with GDPR and legal precedent while protecting sensitive business information.
- Future Readiness: Positioned the client with a standardized DSAR response framework for efficient handling of subsequent requests.
