The 20-point marketing data audit and the four warning signs, sent to your inbox.
Healthcare marketers face a unique paradox: drive personalized growth while navigating a minefield of regulations like HIPAA, GDPR and state-level privacy laws.
Use this 20-point audit to self-assess your risk profile, and see how gaps in compliance often signal a critical need for stronger data governance and metadata management. Check “Yes” only if you are 100% confident. Any “No” or “Unsure” points to a potential compliance gap in your marketing metadata.
The audit covers
- Data collection and consent: marketing authorization, privacy notices, cookie consent, secure transmission and unauthenticated pages.
- Campaign tracking: clean URLs, UTM parameters that don’t reveal a health condition, text masking, IP anonymization and ID-based tracking.
- Vendor and third-party management: BAA coverage, vendor risk assessments, data ownership, termination protocol and pixel control.
- Internal governance and standards: a standardized taxonomy, access control, audience approval, training and incident response, and audit logs.
Plus four warning signs
The “leaky” link, the “specific” condition, the “silent” pixel and the “Frankenstein” report: what each looks like in your analytics or URLs, and the risk it carries.
