Secure Your Data with Our Comprehensive GAP Analysis Service
GAP Analysis for Life Sciences for Clinical Research for Pharma for regulatory compliance for privacy
Our expert team at MyData-TRUST conducts Data Protection GAP Analysis, delving into your current data protection protocols to spot any discrepancies that could lead to potential breaches or non-compliance issues. This comprehensive analysis lays the groundwork for fortifying your data protection measures, ensuring that your organization meets and exceeds industry standards.
Elevate Your Data Security with Professional Risk Assessments
When it comes to third-party partnerships, our vendor assessments scrutinize the data protection policies of your suppliers, mitigating risks that can often go unnoticed until they become problematic. By proactively evaluating your vendors’ data handling procedures, we help you build a more secure, trustworthy supply chain that upholds your data protection expectations.
The Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) is another cornerstone of our service offering, designed to evaluate how new projects or initiatives might affect the security and privacy of the data you hold. It’s a preemptive strike against privacy risks, providing insights that enable you to integrate data protection from the outset.
Not to be overlooked, the Information Security Assessment (ISA) examines the technical and organizational measures you have in place to protect data. From cyber threats to internal lapses, our ISA is a rigorous check that ensures your information security posture is robust and resilient.
