The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a comprehensive data protection regulation that aims to protect the privacy of individuals within the European Union (EU) by imposing strict requirements on organizations that process personal data. Some key challenges faced by organizations in complying with GDPR include data discovery and classification, enabling the rights of data subjects, handling breaches and crises, and managing data governance implications.

Data modeling and data governance can help tackle these key challenges in the following ways:

• Discover and classify data: Data modeling allows organizations to understand their data landscape and identify personal data subject to GDPR. This helps in classifying data according to its sensitivity and applying appropriate security measures.
• Enable the rights of data subjects: Data governance involves tracking the flow of data throughout an organization, including its origin, processing, and storage. This information is essential for complying with GDPR requirements, such as data erasure or portability, as it enables organizations to expose their control over personal data and respond to data subject requests.
• Handle breaches and crises: Data governance includes monitoring and auditing data access and processing activities. This helps organizations detect and respond to data breaches more effectively, as required by GDPR.
• Manage data governance implications: Although the term data governance is not a part of the GDPR articles, data governance guidelines are at the heart of its mandate to protect the privacy of personal data.
• Implement a well-documented data governance strategy helps organizations achieve and maintain GDPR compliance.
