Written by Amy L. Catton

Data mapping is the creation of an inventory of an organization's data. A data map describes:

  • The type of data the exists in the organization;
  • Where that data is stored;
  • Who the responsible party is for that data; and
  • When the data is eligible for archival or deletion.
