Hi all,
Have any of you heard of the need to protect all unstructured
data (data sitting outside your main systems)? We obtained
external advice from GDPR experts on this but it seems an
onerous task. Just wondering if you all are implementing this.
To note this data would already be protected by the password on
the PC.

Elaine, What are they recommending outside of the existing
security measures? Do you have a document that we can review and
comment on?

Hi all,
This was recommended as part of a full GDPR review.
Here is the slide relating to the unstructured data:
Managing Unstructured Data
Unstructured Personal data is any data stored or processed
outside of a structured system or application (e.g. CAPAS)
Managing unstructured data is a considerable concern
Policy and procedures for exports from systems (Excel Files)
Notify staff to delete any personal no longer required
Search network for large excel files these may contain
significant personal data
Maintain documentary evidence in form of emails or audits
conducted
Examples of unstructured personal data may include CV’s emailed
and stored on personal network shares, exports of patient
records stored on network shares etc
Difficult to find ALL personal data records that exist across
all network locations and email systems.
Must show accountability by disabling/managing personal data
exports from structured systems such as CAPAS
Make efforts to identify and delete all personal data that
exists outside of structured systems
Where this is not possible apply access controls and auditing to
the locations containing unstructured personal data
BTW CAPAS is our patient administrative system.
