Introducing AI Agents for Privacy Assessments and Data Maps

AI agent technology is here. And it’s time for privacy teams to move on from manual compliance processes. Manual privacy assessments and data maps simply cannot keep up with today’s rapidly evolving technology and increasing regulation. Questionnaires are slow, imprecise, and static. 

Today, we’re announcing the launch of Agentic Assessments, a new solution to populate 100% of privacy assessments with AI agents that analyze your documentation. Privacy teams typically must wait weeks for stakeholders to complete privacy assessment questionnaires, causing project delays or privacy reviews to be skipped altogether. With Agentic Assessments, stakeholders can populate entire assessments in minutes simply by importing relevant documentation. Stakeholders can immediately validate AI agent findings linked to reasoning and evidence, so that privacy teams can receive completed assessments in a matter of hours. 

To fully assess privacy risk and maintain compliance reporting, complete and up-to-date data maps are required. Despite having data discovery tools to scan databases and third-party SaaS apps, privacy teams today still rely on questionnaires to build data maps. Data discovery tools offer limited coverage, cannot track the flow of data, and cannot discover data for assessments done pre-implementation. 

That is why we are launching new Dynamic Data Map capabilities to offer the most complete, accurate, and automated data mapping solution. Building off our capabilities to scan code, websites, and mobile apps, we are launching two new real-time data mapping capabilities: runtime software scanning and third-party scanning. To fill in any remaining gaps, Agentic Assessments can scan documentation and contracts and extract all relevant data mapping information. 

Agentic Assessments: Populate entire privacy assessments with AI agents

Instead of asking stakeholders to manually review documentation, fill in questionnaires, or complete interviews, stakeholders can simply import relevant documentation and contracts and let agents populate everything. The assessment agent analyzes any type of document: data flow diagrams, product requirement documents, technical specifications, project proposals, etc. The contract agent builds a contract inventory and bolsters assessment findings by extracting data elements, purposes of processing, obligations, and risks from third-party contracts. 

Leverage pre-built or custom templates to automate any type of privacy assessment: privacy impact assessments, data protection impact assessments, records of processing activity, vendor assessments, AI risk assessments, transfer impact assessments, etc. 

Stakeholders and privacy teams can quickly verify agents’ assessment findings with agent reasoning and cited evidence provided for each response. Agents also identify any conflicting evidence. 

With Agentic Assessments, privacy teams can complete assessments in hours instead of weeks or not at all. By leveraging all available documentation and citing evidence, assessments will be more accurate and more auditable. As a result, privacy teams can finally get ahead of all potential privacy risks while enabling the business to move fast.  

This is just the beginning. Later this year, we will launch two additional capabilities: a policy agent to identify inconsistencies between privacy policies and assessments and an extension of the assessment agent to conduct risk analysis.

Dynamic Data Maps: Real-time automation for all data sources

With the following new capabilities, Privado.ai can fully automate data maps across all processing activities without any questionnaires. 

• Runtime Software Scanning: Enhances Privado.ai’s privacy code scanning visibility by identifying all destinations for each personal data element processed by internally developed software. Conducts live software scans by integrating with application program monitoring tools such as Datadog and Dynatrace. 
• 3rd Party Scanning: Automates data maps for third-party software. Scan CRM, HR, procurement, and marketing solutions via suite of API integrations. 
• Assessment Agent: Populates privacy assessments and syncs findings to data maps using AI agents that analyze relevant documentation.
• Contract Agent: Scans contracts and contract management tools to build inventory of each contract’s data elements, obligations, etc. and uses agents to fill in data map gaps.

Combined with existing capabilities to scan code, websites, and mobile apps, Privado.ai offers the most complete, accurate, and automated data mapping solution for privacy teams. 

Without requiring any manual input, customers can build a complete inventory of personal data elements and third parties, generate data flow diagrams for each data element, fully populate records of processing activities, and flag potential privacy compliance risks. 

Looking ahead, we will continue building our suite of 3rd party scanning integrations to include the most widely-used CRM, HR, marketing, procurement, and contract management tools.
