A 30-day readiness plan
How to prepare your records for a sale in 30 days
Most companies can be ready to show buyers within a month, if they start with an inventory rather than an export.
Week by week
- Week 1: list every system, years held, approximate volumes.
- Week 2: confirm ownership, agree exclusions, start the DPIA and LIA.
- Week 3: de-identify a sample and run a motivated intruder test.
- Week 4: send an anonymised profile to several buyers.
Key takeaways
- Inventory before export.
- Legal assessments run alongside, not after.
- Test on a sample first.
