Keep sensitive-data decisions explainable.
Connect sensitive data, access decisions, and review evidence to the business purpose they serve.
The context behind the work.
You assess whether a proposed data use has the right purpose, scope, safeguards, and accountability. Catalog and access evidence can make the review easier to assemble, while policy and legal judgment remain with qualified reviewers.
Review a new use of sensitive data
Identify the asset, intended recipients, purpose, and relevant classifications. Review the proposed access and retention expectations with governance and security, then document the safeguards and accountable decision.
Revisit a prior decision after the purpose changes
Compare the new use with the original review. Identify changed recipients, data scope, or assumptions and obtain the required reassessment rather than treating the old approval as universally applicable.
