A Data Subject Access Request (DSAR) is a formal submission by a data subject (consumer, client, customer, or employee) asking what personal information is collected and stored by the organization. In every data privacy regulation, DSARs are consistently present. Data subjects have a variety of rights when making a request of an organization such as Right to Access and Right to Delete. Under all regulations, organizations have a required response time in which they must accurately and securely respond to the request. Failure to do so results in non-compliance fines.
Executing manual DSAR processes can be resource-intensive and time consuming. Using an automated solution is more cost-effective.
