Records of 'Processing Activities'
Legislations and regulations such as the POPI require you to maintain records of your processing activities (POPI Section 17, GDPR Art 30). The rationale is that the understanding of the data flows allows the justification of data processing.
A number of Supervisory Authorities have released templates for small businesses, but filling templates can be misleading. There is a risk that a "template filling exercise" doesn't lead to a proper analysis of the data flows, justification of data processing and mitigation.
Bizoneo allow you to easily gather and document your processing activity, and generate reports to assist Management and the Data-Protection Officer. We also provide specific features to assist data-processors.
