Data paths in detail.
Implement requirements technically.

Record forms, sharing, interfaces and AI applications clearly. Turn roles, storage and agreed requirements into maintainable systems.

Start with the actual process

Which data goes where?

A form sends information to a mailbox. A team shares documents. A business application connects to a CRM. An AI tool processes content. We record the systems and actual connections.

Example: enquiry data flow — expand the stages
Collection
Which information is required for the process? Required fields, uploads, transport and technical limits are checked.
Transfer
Which systems and recipients receive the data? Interfaces, permissions and external services are recorded clearly.
Storage and end of life
Where do data and attachments remain? Retention, access, logs, deletion and backups are implemented technically according to requirements.

Technical assessment

Practical findings for the next decisions.

DAXS maps data sources, systems, recipients, access rights and storage locations. The technical report describes the state reviewed, identified gaps and possible measures.

Business departments and management define the purpose and workflow. Data protection officers and legal advisers clarify legal requirements. DAXS implements the agreed requirements technically and documents the decisions.

Technical support; binding legal assessment is provided by the responsible specialists.
Task, role and access

Permissions follow the current task.

Tasks and approvals determine roles and access; permissions are checked when people change roles or leave.
The responsible business contact approves the need. Roles or groups bundle the required permissions. Role changes and departures trigger checks of old access, sessions and sharing; changes remain documented.

PUT REQUIREMENTS INTO PRACTICE

Implement data paths and boundaries clearly.

Record the data path, agree requirements, clarify approval, implement technically and check the result.
First clarify data paths and requirements, then implement technically. Open questions return for coordination. Results and later changes remain traceable.
01

Identities and permissions

Configure roles, multifactor authentication, external sharing and administrative access to suit the task.

02

Forms and uploads

Review fields, transport, file types, recipients, spam protection and retention together.

03

Cloud and interfaces

Define which information enters which services; implement access, exchange and return technically.

04

AI in daily work

Clearly define permitted content, excluded information and approvals for a specific use case.

05

Retention and deletion

Plan lifecycle, logging, backup and recovery according to agreed requirements.

06

Oversight and documentation

Record decisions, changes and responsibilities so the solution can continue to be supported.

Firewalls and VPNs support the technical implementation of controlled data paths. The Sophos detail page describes access rules, site connectivity and ongoing maintenance; organisational and legal requirements remain separate tasks.

Clear roles

Make your requirements effective in your systems.

DAXS connects technical implementation to the actual workflow. Management, business departments, data protection and IT receive clear responsibilities.

This service page describes technical support. The website privacy policy and binding legal assessments are separate documents.

A possible project

Implement a data path that can be traced technically.

A form, shared folder or interface processes information in several places. DAXS can record storage locations, access and transfers technically. Purpose, permitted use and organisational approvals are clarified with the responsible people.

From process to configuration

Record the origin, destination, applications involved and required permissions. External sharing, retention requirements and cleanup procedures are agreed before implementation. This produces concrete technical tasks such as access groups, protected transfer or traceable logging.

Check the effect

An authorised person must be able to use the required function; unauthorised access is also tested. Changes remain documented. Technical implementation and legal assessment are different tasks: open legal questions go to the responsible specialists.

View planning and acceptance points
  • Identify the purpose and responsible approver.
  • Record data sources, storage locations and recipients.
  • Agree required permissions and external access.
  • Clarify organisational requirements before making technical changes.
  • Check both authorised and unauthorised access.
  • Acceptance: document the data path, configuration, open questions and ongoing change management.

Example review framework. Scope and suitable evidence are agreed for your environment.

BEFORE YOU DECIDE

Questions about secure digitalisation.

What is recorded in a technical assessment?
Data sources, systems involved, recipients, permissions, storage locations and technical processes. Scope and access to systems are agreed in advance.
Does the technical report replace a legal review?
No. It describes the technical state and possible measures. Legal requirements are clarified by the responsible specialists.
Can existing forms and sharing arrangements be improved?
Yes. We review required information, recipients, permissions, uploads and retention against the actual process.
How are AI tools assessed?
Data types, access, external services and technical limits are clarified for a specific use case. Approvals and excluded content are agreed with the responsible people.
Who determines retention and deletion?
The business and its responsible specialists set the requirements. DAXS supports technical implementation in applications, permissions, processes and backups.
Where do we start if little is documented?
With a manageable, important workflow. This reveals data paths, roles and useful initial measures; documentation is extended step by step.
THE NEXT PRACTICAL STEP

Which data flow should we understand first?

A form, an approval process or a new tool is enough to get started. We will establish the technical state and suitable next measures.

Simply explained

This page explains how data passes through applications, who can access it and how agreed requirements are implemented technically.
