YDS Web Application

DEVELOPMENT

Introduction Of Project
Overview

The YDS Web Application serves as a comprehensive data governance tool, enabling organizations to manage compliance effortlessly. By promoting a culture of data protection, this tool ensures accurate reporting of incidents and adherence to data governance practices across the organization. With a step-by-step approach to building Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs), YDS simplifies complex regulatory requirements, making compliance a part of everyday operations.

Project Initiation

• Define the need for a compliance tool that offers an easy-to-use interface for managing legal policies within the organization.
• Establish the goals of promoting data accountability and ensuring all team members have access to incident reporting features.
• Set project scope to design a tool with a DPIA feature that follows the 'By Design and By Default' principle for seamless governance.

Process

1. Data Protection Culture Implementation

The YDS application encourages a proactive culture of data protection by allowing users from all organizational levels to report incidents, regardless of their significance. This helps management maintain a real-time overview of data handling practices and processes.

2. DPIA Integration with Ease

YDS simplifies Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) with a guided, step-by-step process that embeds DPIA into the organization's governance structure. The interface is designed to explain each step clearly, with built-in calculations to determine whether a full DPIA is needed or if the document can proceed to DPO sign-off.

3. Technical Framework

• Development: The application was built using ASP.NET MVC Core 6.0, taking advantage of RESTful API architecture for modular and scalable integrations.
• Database Management: SQL Server 2019 was used to manage large-scale data related to incidents and DPIA processes.
• Entity Framework: The Entity Framework ensured smooth communication between the application and database, allowing for efficient data retrieval and processing.

Challenges

• Ensuring seamless user experience for non-technical users while maintaining compliance standards.
• Integrating complex DPIA workflows while keeping the interface user-friendly and easy to navigate.

Outcome

The YDS Web Application has successfully improved the client’s ability to manage and streamline compliance processes. By promoting data governance and providing users with the tools to report and address incidents, YDS has empowered organizations to take accountability for data protection. With ongoing updates and support, the project continues to serve its intended purpose effectively.
