The following is an overview of the most important personas in Data Privacy. For each persona, we have added a radar chart that plots their expected skills and expertise.
Persona functions versus the out-of-the-box resource roles
The function mentioned in the bio of each persona relates to that persona's job within the organization. They can be viewed as job titles. Although these functions connote many of the out-of-the-box resource roles, they are not linked. For example, John Fisher's function, or job title, is Business Steward. That does not mean, however, that he is the only person in the organization that will be assigned the Business Steward resource role when working in Data Privacy.
Preston Sterling, whose job title is Privacy Officer, will certainly be assigned the Privacy Steward resource role for various resources in Data Privacy, but he will also be assigned the Business Steward resource role when onboarding risks during the risk assessment. This is so, because Risks require closer consideration from someone whose primary job focus is on risk-related matters. Furthermore, the risk assessment is configured to be completed, in large part, by a user assigned the Business Steward resource role.
In other words, one person with the right skills and expertise might be assigned to multiple resource roles.
It could also be advantageous to have one person assigned to multiple resource roles, for example Owner and Stakeholder, in the same domain. This is particularly interesting for smaller organizations that work in smaller teams.
