DataGrail Introduces Industry’s First Managed Services Offering for Data Privacy

Company takes over all the heavy lifting of privacy management so that teams can focus on strategy and impact

DataGrail, the leading Privacy Control Center™, today announced another industry first: a new Managed Services offering that offloads the burdens of day-to-day data privacy management so that companies can maintain their focus on strategy and impact. DataGrail Managed Services now handle customers’ DSR fulfillment and data mapping processes, streamlining internal resources and decreasing the need for additional headcount. The new offering comes amid persistently changing data privacy regulations and rapidly increasing volume of data subject requests (DSRs), which make it difficult for companies to keep up with their privacy obligations.

With its Risk Intelligence, DataGrail is uniquely qualified to manage data privacy programs for customers. DataGrail’s data mapping capabilities are enhanced by 2,000+ integrations and DSR automation functionality that spans across internal data systems such as custom databases, data warehouses, unstructured data stores, and internally built apps. Risk Intelligence gives DataGrail unprecedented visibility into where data can hide to reduce risk and ensures that it can complete DSRs efficiently and accurately.

“Data privacy has never been more top-of-mind. Consumers expect control over their data, and companies have a responsibility to respond to their requests promptly and comprehensively. Doing so enables them to maintain brand trust and loyalty,” said DataGrail CEO and Co-founder Daniel Barber. “But privacy management has become a big enough issue that businesses need help. With DataGrail Managed Services, companies easily address the rapid changes in the data privacy landscape so that companies can be confident their DSRs are processed thoroughly and correctly so that their customers’ rights are protected.”
