IQWorks DSR Automation handles DSR and DSAR requests in ComplyIQ from intake to closure. Requests arrive through a public form with email verification, land in a tracked queue with SLA flags, and open a DiscoverIQ scan for the requester's data in one click.
DSR Automation Challenges
Rights requests arrive by email, web form and phone, and each one starts a scramble: confirm the requester is who they say they are, find their data across systems, reply before the deadline, and keep a record of it all.
Without a single queue, requests go missing, deadlines slip, and nobody can show a regulator how a request was handled.
Requests in every inbox
Requests arrive through several channels and are tracked in spreadsheets, if at all.
Unverified requesters
Answering a request from someone who is not the Data Principal hands their data to a stranger.
Data spread across systems
Finding one person's data means asking every system owner by hand.
Deadlines slipping
Without an age on each request, overdue requests surface only when someone complains.

DSR Automation FAQ
Access, correction and erasure requests, each tracked in one queue with its status, assignee and age.
Before a request is accepted, the requester enters a one-time code sent to their email address. CAPTCHA can be added to the public form.
From the request, one click opens a DiscoverIQ scan pre-filled with the requester's name and email, which searches the endpoints, databases, SaaS apps and file shares you have connected.
Yes. Email threads to the requester and to vendors are sent from inside the request and kept with it.

Glossary
Data Subject Access Request (DSAR)
A Data Subject Access Request is a formal request made by an individual to an organization to obtain confirmation of whether their personal data is being processed and, if so, to receive a copy of that data along with details about how it is used.
Data Subject Rights (DSR)
Data Subject Rights are the legal rights granted to individuals under data protection laws, enabling them to control how their personal data is collected, used, stored, and shared by organizations.
Secure Data Deletion
Secure data deletion ensures personal data is permanently and irreversibly removed from all storage systems, supporting the right to erasure and storage limitation.
