Methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable storage media are disclosed for utilizing a
decision tree to generate a recommended action in response to detecting a change in a data map representing a computing environment. The disclosed
system determines relationships among
data objects representing
digital data, digital assets, and
data processing activities and generates a data map according to the relationships. The disclosed
system monitors the data map for changes and, responsive to determining a change in the data map, traverses a
decision tree by executing one or more calls to one or more application
programming interfaces according to the change in the data map and one or more data policies relevant to the changes. The disclosed systems utilize the
decision tree and application
programming interfaces to generate a recommended action for modifying digital assets,
digital data, and / or
data processing activities.
