Webinar | Managing data subject access requests (DSAR) in a timely and cost-effective manner

The enforcement of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in May 2018 eliminated the cost barrier (in most cases) for an individual to submit a data subject access request (DSAR), increasing the burden on organisations to provide their customers with their records in a shorter amount of time at no cost.

Therefore, handling DSARs in line with the GDPR’s requirements and ensuring that there is suitable evidence of processing a request can be a challenge for most organisations.

DSARs are becoming increasingly common, and failure to respond can lead to the data subject making a complaint to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), which could result in serious fines and sanctions.
