Data Minimization – Identify the Right Data Assets
One of the core privacy principles is to minimize the collection and processing of personal data. Organizations must only collect, use, and store data that is necessary to accomplish specific purposes. Data minimization can significantly reduce threat surface areas and risks.
Our solution lists all the data that is never been used and poses risk to your organization. Our platform uses AI/ML to map your data, identify sensitive data, and analyze data activities to identify the right data assets that must be minimized.

Privacy Laws Enforce Data Minimization
Not only ‘Privacy by Design’ approach recommends data minimization, but also GDPR enforces data minimization.
GDPR Article 5(1)(c)
“1. Personal data shall be: (c) adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which they
are processed (data minimisation)”
Example: Taxa
Denmark’s data protection authority performed an audit of taxi company Taxa. Danish DPA fined Taxa for violating Article 5 of the GDPR in three ways: purpose limitation, data minimization, and storage limitation.
