Deleting a user account takes seconds. Deleting everything your organization knows about that user is a much bigger job. When a customer invokes their right to be forgotten, their profile in your identity provider is only the starting point, because their details also live in your CRM, support desk, billing tool, analytics platform, and a few SaaS apps your marketing team connected last year. Every one of those copies has to be found and dealt with before the legal deadline.

Oct 30, 2026 By Gary Hayslip In Zenity
I have lived through major incidents firsthand, including the urgent calls that come in the middle of the night. In my experience, the teams that contain damage quickly are not the ones with the most tools. They’re the ones that ask the right questions in the first hour.
