Create an Actionable Plan with a Readiness Assessment

The GDPR sets out seven key principles which should be at the core of personal data processing. By completing an assessment, you can identify GDPR-related gaps in your privacy program then create a plan to integrate data protection into your processing activities and business practices from the design stage, across the entire data processing lifecycle.

Automate PIA and DPIA Requirements

Conduct PIA and DPIAs where processing operations are likely to result in a high risk to individuals by customizing pre-defined screening questionnaires. Assign follow-up risk mitigation tasks and automatically prompt remediation to users via email notification or a self-service portal.
