EU GDPR MDG Technology

[Eamonn John Casey]

Hi!
This question is specific for people modelling information flows in preperation for compliance to the European Unions General Data Protection Regulation.

1. Is anyone using EA to model and document data flows for GDPR?
2. Anyone made or knows og MDG Technologies that can be used? I came on this one https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/gdpr-data-flow-mapping-approach-tim which is basically UML Activity.

Input appreaciated,

I use ArchiMate elements and Flow relationship. For presentations to management I use alternative images for the elements but underneath they are archimate.

Alternatively I've seen folk use old fashion Data Flow Diagrams and to make them more appealing I've seen people select alternative images to represent the processes and stores. That together with swimlanes would probably result in something looking like that GDPR link you provided below. You could import those images into the model to use the same images.

Sorry don't know of any MDG that would replicate that. Its not hard to create your own MDG now so you could roll your own in a day or so.
