Managing the Rising Tide of DSARs: Turning Compliance Risk into a Defensible, Efficient Process

Live Webinar | Data Subject Access Requests

Date: Wednesday 16 September 2026 | Time: 11:00 am –12:00pm BST/IST

Solving The DSAR Challenge.
INTRODUCING A More efficient, effective & defensible DSAR PROCESS.

Data subject access requests are becoming more frequent, more complex, and more scrutinised - and AI is accelerating all three. Join Complete GRC and Nuix on Thursday 14 August to learn how leading organisations are moving from reactive, manual DSAR handling to a defensible, efficient process built for scale.

Why Attend?

Data subject access requests have consistently ranked as the single largest category of complaint to the Irish Data Protection Commission - and the pressure isn't easing. According to the DPC's most recent Annual Report, new cases rose sharply year-on-year, with much of that growth attributed directly to individuals using AI tools to draft more detailed, more complex requests and complaints.

For DPOs, legal teams and information governance leaders, this means:

  1. More requests, arriving faster - AI tools are lowering the barrier for data subjects to submit detailed, well-argued requests
  2. More complexity per request - broader scope, more nuanced legal arguments, more edge cases to assess
  3. More resource strain - manual review processes weren't built for this volume or sophistication
  4. More compliance exposure - regulators expect a demonstrably consistent, evidenced process, not ad hoc effort
  5. More cost - every hour spent on manual triage and redaction is an hour (and a cost) that scales badly

This webinar unpacks what's really driving the shift, what it means for your organisation, and how a modern approach changes the equation.

What You'll Learn

1. The Current DSAR Landscape
An evidence-based look at where DSAR volumes and complexity stand today, drawing on the latest Irish DPC Annual Report, and how the rise of AI-assisted requests is reshaping what "responding well" actually requires.

2. The Real Challenges Organisations Face
Resource constraints, spiralling cost-per-request, compliance risk, and the difficulty of evidencing a consistent, defensible process when everything is done manually.

3. Manual vs. Modern: A Side-by-Side Comparison
What a traditional, manual DSAR workflow looks like against a modern, technology-enabled process — and where the gaps in speed, accuracy and defensibility actually show up.

4. Live Demonstration: How Nuix Helps
See how Nuix reduces review volumes, speeds up identification and redaction of personal data, and creates a fully auditable trail from request to response.

5. Live Q&A
Bring your questions for Nollag, Mark and the team.
