DSAR Request Routing With Metadata-Based Priority Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems struggle to efficiently manage and respond to data subject access requests within tight timelines, especially for large corporations with data stored across multiple platforms, due to challenges in locating and retrieving specific data while optimizing limited computing resources.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that utilize metadata to adjust the priority of data subject access requests, facilitating timely retrieval of data by modifying execution timing and network communication to satisfy processing deadlines and identity verification constraints, using a query interface to manage queries across multiple data storage systems.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If data is stored across multiple platforms in large corporations, then data storage capacity and organization are improved, but data retrieval time and system complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments data storage across multiple platforms and systems, organizing data into separate manageable units while maintaining the ability to retrieve them collectively. This allows large corporations to store vast quantities of data across distributed systems while the prioritization mechanism efficiently segments retrieval operations to minimize time loss.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a prioritization mechanism as an intermediary layer between the data subject access request and the distributed data storage systems. This intermediary analyzes metadata, determines priority levels, and coordinates retrieval across multiple platforms, reducing the time penalty associated with distributed storage.
2Reliability
If traditional systems process data subject access requests, then basic compliance is achieved, but processing speed and resource efficiency deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic prioritization where the processing speed and resource allocation for data subject access requests are adjusted based on metadata analysis. High-priority requests receive accelerated processing while maintaining compliance requirements, allowing the system to be both reliable and productive simultaneously.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of request processing by introducing priority levels based on metadata characteristics. This transforms the uniform processing approach into a variable-speed processing model where compliance requirements are maintained but processing speed is optimized based on request characteristics and resource availability.
3Loss of energy
If computing resources are limited, then cost efficiency is improved, but the ability to meet processing deadlines deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by allocating computing resources proportionally to request priority levels. Instead of uniformly allocating resources to all requests, the system provides excessive resource allocation to high-priority requests that must meet deadlines, while using minimal resources for lower-priority requests, thus meeting deadlines with limited overall resources.
Solution Approach 2:
The prioritization mechanism performs self-service by automatically analyzing metadata and allocating resources without manual intervention. This automated resource management optimizes computing resource efficiency while ensuring that deadline-critical requests receive appropriate resource allocation to meet processing deadlines.

AI summary
Various Data Subject Access Request (DSAR) processing systems are adapted for presenting a first webform on a first web site, the first webform being adapted to receive DSAR's and to route the requests to a first designated individual for processing; presenting a second webform on a second web site, the second webform being adapted to receive DSAR's and to route the requests to a second designated individual for processing; receiving, via the first webform, a first DSAR; at least partially in response to the receiving the first DSAR, automatically routing the first DSAR to the first designated individual for handling; receiving, via the second webform, a second DSAR; at least partially in response to the receiving the second DSAR, automatically routing the second DSAR to the second designated individual for handling; and communicating a status of both the first DSAR and the second DSAR via a single user interface.
