Implementation guidelines
Auditing guidelines
1. Examine the CSP’s procedures and technical requirements for the population and management of its data inventory. Establish that this process and key controls comply with the CSP’s data privacy and security policy. Establish whether the CSP has documented the roles and responsibilities for this process. 2. Select a sample of entries to ensure they have been recorded correctly on the inventory. The sample must include a proportion of sensitive and personal data entries. 3. Assess whether data inventory management meets the CSP’s expectations from the defined procedures and technical requirements. 4. Examine measure(s) that evaluate(s) this process and determine if the measure(s) address(es) implementation of the process/control requirement(s) as stipulated. 5. Determine whether the CSP evaluates third-party data inventory practices and assigns each one an appropriate risk level. 6. Verify that a comprehensive data inventory is created, including all sensitive and personal data. 7. Verify that data sources, types, usage, and ownership are identified and documented. 8. Verify that the data inventory is maintained and updated regularly to reflect changes in data assets and processing activities. 9. Verify compliance with relevant data protection laws (e.g., GDPR, CCPA) and organizational policies throughout the data inventory process. 10. Review mechanisms provided to customers for identifying and locating their data within the infrastructure, such as metadata services, tagging capabilities, or data mapping tools. 11. Verify that the CSP provides customers with documentation about data storage locations, particularly for jurisdictional or compliance purposes.
