Automate and Simplify Data Subject Requests
Data subject requests are a core part of data protection compliance under GDPR, CCPA, and other regulations. But handling them manually—especially at scale—can drain your team’s time, increase legal risk, and damage trust if done poorly.
Responsum makes managing data subject requests simple. From identification to resolution, our platform automates the process, tracks every step, and helps you respond accurately and on time.
Why Streamlined Data Subject Requests Matter
The Risks of Manual DSR Management
Most privacy teams still handle data subject requests using spreadsheets, shared mailboxes, or disconnected tools. This leads to delays, missed deadlines, and inconsistent responses—leaving your organization vulnerable to regulatory action.
Non-compliance Penalties: Failing to respond within the required timeframe can result in fines and reputational damage.
Operational Inefficiencies: Manual handling drains legal and IT resources, especially during peak periods or after breaches.
Meeting Data Subject Expectations
Privacy-savvy users expect fast, transparent, and accurate responses to their requests. Whether it’s a Subject Access Request (SAR), rectification, or erasure request, Responsum helps you deliver a consistent and compliant experience.

A Guided Workflow for Every Data Subject Request
Managing data subject requests doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Responsum walks you through each step with a built-in workflow designed to minimize error and maximize efficiency.
Define and Limit the Scope
Start by clearly outlining what the data subject is requesting. Responsum helps you determine whether the request falls within your legal obligations and allows you to filter out overly broad or unqualified requests. All decisions are logged to maintain transparency and provide an auditable trail.
Delegate Tasks Across Teams
Once the scope is set, you can delegate responsibilities to the relevant departments—whether it's HR, IT, or Legal. The platform ensures every stakeholder is looped in, with centralized dashboards to keep track of status, deadlines, and accountability.
Maintain a Full Audit Trail
Every action taken—from identification to communication—is automatically recorded. Timestamps, version history, and decision logs provide a comprehensive audit trail that you can rely on in the event of an investigation or regulatory review.
Review and Respond On Time
Before finalizing your response, Responsum facilitates review cycles involving legal or DPO oversight. This step ensures quality control and accuracy. Once ready, responses can be sent securely and in full compliance with GDPR’s response deadlines.
