What this capability handles
DSR / GDPR Response solves a problem with a hard deadline attached: data subject requests come in, the regulatory clock starts, and the work of verifying identity and pulling data across systems eats the window. For a legal team at a 200 to 2000 person company, a missed DSR is not a delay, it is a compliance exposure. This capability runs data subject requests through a disciplined workflow so responses ship inside the regulatory window, with counsel owning the hard cases. It is built for teams that handle GDPR and CCPA requests and need clock discipline they can trust. Operationally, it moves through five stages in order. It intakes the request. It runs identity verification. It coordinates data retrieval across systems. It drafts the response. Then it ships to the requester inside the regulatory window. It runs inside your privacy tool, document repository, ticket system, and messaging, and it uses your documented DSR workflow, identity records, data source map, and response templates. Per request, it produces a verified, drafted, and delivered response, tracked against the deadline. The decision logic is DSR-workflow rules plus regulatory-clock logic: it orchestrates each request against its deadline and flags disputed items rather than forcing them through. Exception handling routes the genuinely difficult work to people. Disputed requests, novel data categories, or regulator escalations route to counsel for direct ownership. Those are the human-handoff conditions exactly: a dispute, a novel category, or a regulator escalation moves to counsel. Every action is logged and reviewable, so the team can show how identity was confirmed, where data came from, and when the response went out, which is the audit trail this work demands. Typical fit requires the DSR workflow documented, the privacy tool wired, and the data source map current. With that in place, the capability carries 15-25% of role volume, and 25-35% of role impact comes from DSR response on time with regulatory discipline. The primary measure is DSR response on time, sustained above 98% inside the regulatory window. For the operator, the outcome is dependable: requests are handled within the clock, the audit trail is intact, and counsel is pulled in only when a request is disputed, novel, or escalated, not for routine retrieval and drafting.
