Abstract

With the GDPR coming into force in 2018, organizations require techniques to assess and improve the current state of their data processing activities with regards to personal data. Although current research has explored GDPR compliance to some degree, the work is either highly generalized or focused on specific principles within the legislation. This paper presents the current state of a model of the GDPR that provides a concise visual overview of the associations between entities defined in the legislation and their constraints. We also discuss its application directions towards the development of an overall approach to organizational privacy management - as a visual representation and as a tool to aid the definition of privacy policy.
