Identify sensitive information and its uses
Map the sources, recipients, storage locations and transformations of important data. Assign owners and document the business purpose for each use. Include nonproduction environments, exports and provider integrations that may otherwise be omitted from the operating inventory.
Enforce boundaries in the workflow
Translate approved policy into access restrictions, encryption, masking, retention and deletion controls. Define how requests for new data uses are reviewed and how exceptions are recorded. Test the control at the point where data is retrieved, changed or transferred.
Verify operation and respond to change
Review access evidence, data quality issues and material configuration changes with accountable owners. Confirm that removal and retention processes work across dependent systems. Cicrim can help design the control inventory, evidence requirements and implementation backlog without making unsupported claims of compliance.
Define a focused next step
Bring the current process, known constraints and accountable owners to a working session. Cicrim can help define the scope, working outputs and acceptance criteria before implementation begins.
