As data privacy regulations tighten globally, ensuring compliance with frameworks like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and India’s Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act has become imperative. An Electronic Document Management System (EDMS), like dMACQ DMS+, offers robust features to secure, manage and process sensitive information in compliance with these regulations.
Why Compliance is Critical
Non-compliance with GDPR and DPDP can result in hefty fines, reputational damage and operational disruptions. These regulations emphasize:
1. Data Subject Rights (Access, Rectification and Erasure):
Both GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) and DPDP (Digital Personal Data Protection Act) empower individuals to control their personal data. They allow users to access their data to understand how it’s being used, rectify inaccuracies in the information held and erase data when it’s no longer needed or consent is withdrawn.
2. Lawful and Transparent Processing:
Organizations must collect and process data under lawful grounds such as consent, contractual necessity, or legal obligation. Transparent policies ensure that data subjects understand how their data is processed and for what purpose.
3. Secure Data Storage and Transfers:
Adequate security measures, including encryption, access controls and audit trails, are required to prevent unauthorized access or breaches. When transferring data internationally, organizations must ensure equivalent levels of protection to safeguard sensitive information.
How dMACQ DMS+ Ensures Compliance
1. Automated Data Classification & Tagging:
dMACQ DMS+ uses AI-powered classification to automatically tag documents with metadata aligned to GDPR and DPDP requirements. This ensures sensitive data is properly categorized and flagged for compliance.
2. Access Controls and Role-Based Permissions:
With strict role-based access control (RBAC), dMACQ DMS+ restricts document access based on user roles, preventing unauthorized access to sensitive information. It supports granular permission levels to manage who views, edits and downloads documents.
3. Audit Trails for Complete Transparency:
Comprehensive audit logs track all document activities, including views, modifications and sharing, ensuring a verifiable trail of compliance for regulators.
4. Data Encryption & Secure Storage:
dMACQ DMS+ employs military-grade encryption (AES-256) during data transit and storage, ensuring that sensitive information remains protected from breaches.
5. Automated Retention and Disposal Policies:
Retention schedules aligned with compliance requirements ensure that documents are retained for the required duration and automatically deleted when no longer needed, supporting GDPR’s ‘Right to be Forgotten.’
6. Consent Management & Data Subject Requests (DSR):
The system manages consent records and facilitates prompt responses to data subject requests for access, rectification, or deletion, ensuring regulatory timelines are met.
