We help classify data, apply the right controls per level and integrate the DCC with your ISMS and PDPL privacy programme.

## How Secure iQube helps

1. **Applicability and scoping**: Confirm whether and how the law applies to you, entities, data, systems, roles and territories.
2. **Data and process mapping**: Build a record of processing or control inventory so obligations can be tied to real systems and owners.
3. **Gap assessment**: Measure current practice against each obligation and rank the gaps by legal and business risk.
4. **Remediation roadmap**: Policies, notices, contracts, technical controls and governance, sequenced so the highest risks close first.
5. **Evidence and ongoing monitoring**: A compliance calendar, metrics and periodic reviews so you can demonstrate compliance to a regulator or customer at any time.

## Frequently asked questions

### How does DCC relate to PDPL?

PDPL protects personal data rights; DCC applies cybersecurity controls to classified data of all kinds. Personal data usually falls under both.
