01

Scanner output needs human review

Automated mapping can surface likely vendors, endpoints, regions, SDKs, logs, and data fields, but privacy owners still need to confirm purpose, legal role, transfer mechanism, retention, and safeguards.

02

Look across product and operations

Useful scans include application APIs, webhooks, analytics tags, CRM exports, support tools, payment processors, logging pipelines, cloud regions, AI providers, and data warehouse destinations.

03

Convert findings into transfer records

The scanner should not end with a raw list. Each finding should become a transfer candidate with owner, confidence, vendor, destination, data category, review status, and evidence request.
