Data flow mapping

Visualize data flows and privacy rules for clear insight and compliance

Methodology
Data flow analysis
Privacy framework mapping
Interactive visualization
Compliance check
System documentation

At Patroon, we make complex data flows and privacy rules understandable through interactive visualizations. We map how data flows through organizations and which privacy rules apply where.

Our approach

We first analyze the data flows within your organization and between systems. Then we map the relevant privacy rules and link these to specific data flows. Through interactive visualizations, we make this complex matter comprehensible for all stakeholders.

Applications

  • Interactive data flow visualizations
  • Privacy framework mapping
  • Cross-border data transfer analysis
  • System integration mapping
  • Compliance documentation
  • Privacy impact assessments

Common questions

Who should join a data flow mapping workshop?
Legal, privacy, security, IT, and process owners participate so every system, dataset, and handoff is captured accurately.
What deliverables do we receive?
Layered diagrams, a RACI overview, and a prioritised remediation backlog that translates insights into action.
How often should maps be updated?
Teams revisit them at least once a year or whenever new tooling, jurisdictions, or vendors enter the stack.
