Organizations

Organizations can be related to an assessment in two ways:

  • Directly when the organization is created in or attached to the assessment.
  • Indirectly when the organization is related to another object and that object is added to the assessment (see the sections below for these cases).

Automatically created processing activities

Section titled “Automatically created processing activities”

Processing activities are automatically created for an organization when it is defined as:

  • the provider or maintenance provider of a system object
  • the provider or maintenance provider of a storage object
  • the provider or maintenance provider of a hosting environment object
  • the personnel role organization of a personnel role object.

These processing activities affect all assessments that the objects described above are related to, and they cannot be deleted. However, you can disable an automatic processing activity by editing it and selecting No, this organization does not participate in processing of personal data.
