Episode 22 — Data Flow Mapping: Transfers, Sharing, and Accountability Controls

Data doesn’t stay put—it flows across systems, organizations, and borders. This episode explains how to map those flows, identify points of transfer, and implement controls that ensure compliance. We’ll discuss intra-organizational transfers, such as between departments or subsidiaries, and external flows to vendors, partners, or regulators. Accountability mechanisms, such as contractual clauses and data processing agreements, form the backbone of lawful transfers.

We’ll also examine how flow mapping supports transparency obligations, enabling organizations to explain where data goes and why. For exam purposes, expect questions on the mechanics of accountability controls, including contracts, due diligence, and oversight mechanisms. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com
