Information Asset Register
An information asset register (IAR) is a key requirement of the Data Protection Act 2018 (and of the GDPR) as it demonstrates that you understand the information and data that you have in your organisation and are managing it appropriately. It also provides the basis for DPIAs (data protection impact assessments) as you undertake business and technology changes.
Many organisations have created a static Excel spreadsheet with is now rapidly becoming out of date. Our solution delivers an out of the box IAR and reduces the effort in maintaining it, turning it into a strategic source of insight across your business. It can also be extended to support your information governance processes and technology landscape. And migrating your IAR is easy!

You will have insights at your finger tips with charting showing sections of your data.
