How Dcrayon builds your data protection strategy across a 90-day program
A short walkthrough of a Dcrayon data protection strategy engagement, from the week-one data map and risk Score to a working encryption and DLP baseline.
Technical controls we build into every data protection strategy
What every Dcrayon data protection strategy engagement includes by default
Each control below maps to a measurable factor in your data privacy posture, built and verified by the GDPR consultant on your account.
Continuous data monitoring
DcrayonAI watches for unusual data access, flags exfiltration patterns, and alerts on policy drift across your storage, databases, and endpoints from day one.
Retention and disposal discipline
Retention schedules and disposal automation stop needless storage of personal data.
You see records held, minimized, and deleted, not just storage spend.
Compliance control mapping
Every change maps to a named control under GDPR, PCI DSS, ISO 27001, and SOC2, so evidence is ready when a data privacy audit lands.
Three tools we run on every data protection strategy engagement
Score, Plan, Compound. A privacy and security diagnostic, a 90-day control roadmap, and the toolkit we run on every data protection strategy engagement.
Dcrayon Score (data protection axis)
A data-mapping and gap assessment against GDPR Articles 30 and 32, the DPDP Act, and PCI DSS. We chart where personal and cardholder data lives, who touches it, and which controls are missing. Free on every proposal call.
Dcrayon Control Roadmap (data protection sequencing)
A 90-day roadmap that sequences data protection work back to one privacy or security metric you pick, so gaps close in priority order inside a quarter.
DcrayonAI (data protection toolkit)
An internal toolkit that runs data mapping and DLP audits, then generates a prioritized remediation list your CFO and data protection officer can budget.
How Dcrayon runs a data protection strategy
Three repeatable practices that harden data protection across cycles.
Step 1: Score
Free Dcrayon Score readout in one business day. We inventory your personal and cardholder data flows, check lawful basis and cross-border transfer paths, and score your data loss prevention coverage, then give one 0-100 number plus the gap list. No follow-on commitment.
Step 2: Plan
Written 90-day data protection plan tied to one control gap you pick, from records of processing to encryption at rest. A CIPP-certified GDPR consultant writes the controls, and either side can close the SoW. No annual lock-in.
Step 3: Compound
Weekly working session with your lead consultant plus a monthly board-ready summary. The programme builds in order: data mapping in cycle one sets the DLP rules in cycle two, which feed audit-ready evidence in cycle three.
