Clearly an emotional topic. The fact remains, GDPR is a well-meaning but fuzzy law, with implications that cannot be foreseen at this point in time.
To remove some of the uncertainty and automate some of the compliance steps, we built a data discovery AI tech that scans corporate data to answer:
* "Do we even store personal information?"
* "Where do we keep it?"
* "How do we make sure PII is consistently stored only in the designated places?"
This may seem trivial to a micro-business that runs on a handful of database tables, which I think is where the author is coming from. But for larger companies, even understanding what's where and why (backups? emails? cloud storages?) is a highly non-trivial—if ultimately rewarding—endeavour.
